How to read Dodge model numbers (engineering series + chassis group)
Dodge truck model numbers from this period use a letter-and-number format that identifies the engineering series, chassis group, and wheelbase/body configuration.
Example:
WD-15
W = Engineering series (W-Series, 1941–1947)
D = Chassis group (factory chassis family identifying frame/suspension/axle class)
15 = Wheelbase and body configuration
The chassis group letter is often the most useful part of the model number when comparing mechanical parts. Trucks within the same chassis group commonly share similar frame design and load-class components (axles, springs, brakes), though wheelbase/configuration changes can still affect specific part fit.
Important: These chassis group letters (C, D, E, F, G, H, K, L, etc.) are part of the original Dodge factory model number system and are not related to the separate “Vehicle Type A, B, C, D…” classification used elsewhere on this website.
Chassis group quick guide (tonnage and load class reference)
| Chassis group letter | Typical tonnage class | Description and identification notes |
| C | ½-ton | Light-duty pickup chassis. Includes TC, VC, and WC models. |
| D | ¾-ton and 1-ton | Medium-duty chassis group. “-15” models are typically ¾-ton; “-20” and “-21” models are typically 1-ton. |
| E | Heavy light-commercial (varies by model) | Heavier chassis than D group; used for larger commercial bodies and heavier load applications. |
| F | Heavy light-commercial (varies by model) | Heavy light-commercial chassis group; many variations are indicated by suffix letters. |
| G | Commercial-duty | Commercial-duty trucks with heavier suspension, brakes, and frame design. |
| H | Heavy commercial | Heavy commercial chassis group with substantially heavier frame, axles, and suspension components. |
| K | Heavy-duty commercial | Heavy-duty commercial and industrial truck chassis. Includes WK and VK series models. |
| L | Largest commercial | Largest and heaviest truck chassis used in this engineering period. |
Tonnage classifications are general reference values. Actual load capacity varies depending on wheelbase, axle configuration, and specific model.
