Identify Old Truck Wreck

Bigslug

Got skunked on the opening weekend of deer season in the Mojave - along with pretty much everybody else by the sound of it - but got to see some of the sights.  One of which was an abandoned mountaintop mine with the remains of this old truck:











As you can see, it's got a REALLY weird roofline over the doors/cab.  Obviously pretty scavenged, so no obvious name plates to be found.  Wondering if we've got any gearheads that can pin it down to a make and year (ish)

Same mine also had this abandoned bulldozer:





The metal plate on this beast is all pretty burly, as is the exhaust pipe - milled tubing?  Certainly not extruded.

It's all got a 1930's feel, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Try some jumper cables.

Motor's a flathead. The curved roof is of the contemporary style in shape. I've not seen the odd looking configuration. I'm searching for one online.

Neat old cable lift dozer - somebody swiped the winch. And I really like the truck and its flathead engine! Little bit of bondo, some new rings, and she'll fire right up! No computers needed!

Whenever I see old trucks like that, International comes to mind. Of course that's a complete guess.

The headlights say 1930s but the flat fenders are throwing me off.  Not Ford, Chevy or Dodge.

I've checked everything from Corbit to Lori. Also checked Canadian brands common to the west coast. IH and Mack have more of a distinctive curve than others, but I can't find a match.

Likely was an ID tag on it in the door jam or firewall in the past.The engine may be marked as well. 

The windshield appears to be one piece minus a center post. Serious looking engine too. 

That dozer looks like it should be in an old news reel making WWll runways.

The engine looks an awful lot like a Chrysler Flathead 6.  The fenders make me think Willys Overland, but the roof makes me wonder if it was a modification done as an up-fit, perhaps to increase protection from falling debris

This is a flathead 6 in an old Plymouth - a lot of similarities from the limited views.

The bolt pattern on the heads and manifolds are strikingly similar. Something I noticed was that manifolds on the mystery truck look extruded or at least round or tube shaped if cast. 

I think pre war Dodge engines were highly regarded for superior pulling power.

I,m sure its a 41 Dodge Power Wagon 1 piece windshield , the curve of the front fender , pinched in grill/ radiator, location of oil filter and duel spacing of spark plugs , location and style of coolant intake on the head.

That has to be it!

May it rest in peace.

'41 Dodge.  Cool!

Possibly from a couple years later - or earlier - as well.  WWII did but a bit of a halt to styling changes.
