eLMeR ◊ 2015-05-08 23:38	VictorD wrote 1939 - 1941 Dodge pickup [...] EzMark wrote 1940 - 1946 Dodge Let's mix these two and add 1 year for the last model year In fact, a 1939-47 Dodge Job-Rated truck cab and front end. As Pickup never existed as model name, it could be a: • 1939 T-Series, but the grille trim of this model year looks like a down pointing arrow; • 1940 V-Series, but the grille trim of this one has a V-shape lower part, and this truck doesn't have the small park lamps on the headlamps; • 1941-47 W-Series, all the more as it has the 1941+ cowl mounted park lamps (see VictorD's thumb). 1941-42 models had chrome bars in the lower part of the grille, scarce 1942-45 ones had no chrome at all (due to war restrictions), and 1946-47 ones had just the chrome cross. But as the truck in this movie is a "post-apocalyptic-neo-grunge-punk" model, I'm not sure these clues can really help. No chrome at all, so let's say a 1942-45 "war" model or a 1946-47 one, as it's certainly easier to paint a 1946-47 grille cross rather than to take off the grille chrome bars. Of course, we're just talking about the cab and front part of that thing, as it has obviously a lengthened "nose" and its underwear is more likely the one of some younger monster truck. The rear part is also some post-factory handiwork. Maybe the rear part of a tow-truck? One last detail: the movie was apparently shot in Namibia, so some vehicles could be RHD. But this Dodge couldn't be a (1940+?) RHD Canadian D15, as this model never had the above mentioned cowl mounted park lamps. -- Last edit: 2015-05-09 00:03:09

In the next camera shot, both front wheels are steering normally.
