Is this one of the Kew, England, built ones?

Possibly; it certainly resembles a Kew Dodge.

British built Kew Dodge,for certain export markets British and American Dodge trucks were badged either Fargo or De soto.If the above truck had been sold in Finland it would have been badged De soto

@rattle on: Do you know where in Kew the Dodge factory was? I grew up not so far away, and until the mid 1980s there was a little workshop in Richmond that built special purpose bodies on Renault-Dpdge lorries, which presumably had a historic connection to the larger Dodge factory.

Not sure,but the factory became a industrial estate in the seventies,so could be the same place and in the thirties a car called the Chrysler Richmond was produced at the Dodge factory

Thanks, but the workshop I'm thinking of can't have part of the main factory, because it was in a little back street and surrounded by houses probably older than it was.

As a Dodge it would be 200 series normal control D205 6-Ton D207 7, 8 or 9-Ton from 1961 onwards (large Dodge or Fargo lettering). UK did not have the normal control 6-tonner after 1961 but it was sold overseas for export with a range of 3 to 7 tons.

The Dodge Brothers factory was off Mortlake Road, Kew Gardens, Surrey, in the area between north-east of Mortlake Road and the south bank of the Thames.

Currently the north part is Kew Retail Park (M&S, Next, Boots etc) and the remainder housing.
