Dodge – other models: the collective page of vans and pick-ups outside the named ranges, from the Power Wagon and WC62 through the D-series pick-ups to the A-series van, 70 to 241 kW, 3,560 to 7,400 cm³
This page gathers Dodge commercial vehicles the register could not assign to a named range: the military-derived Power Wagon and its WC62 forerunner from the Second World War, the Korean War-era M37 truck, the D-series pick-ups from D100 to D200 with bodies such as Stepside and Camper Special, and the A-series van built from 1964. The Power Wagon entered production in 1946 as a civilian version of the military WC chassis and was one of the first factory-built four-wheel-drive pick-ups for the civilian market.

The register lists here 24 versions with 70 to 241 kW from six- to eight-cylinder engines of 3,560 to 7,400 cm³, unladen weights from 1,160 to 3,000 kg, lengths from 4,480 to 5,450 mm and widths from 1,830 to 2,200 mm.
The span from military four-wheel-drive vehicles to the civilian pick-up shows Dodge's long tradition of robust, easily serviced commercial vehicles for the North American market, supplied alongside civilian sales to military and government customers.
Buying used, the pick-ups need checking for rust on the frame, load bed and wings, the condition of the axles and transfer case on four-wheel-drive versions, and on the A-series van rust on the sliding-door tracks and floor pan; engine and chassis parts for the V8 units are generally well available through the US youngtimer parts market.
