  The Dodge Brothers started to make "trucks" at the request of the Army in World War One, they supplied panel trucks to be used as ambulances.  They weren't really trucks because they were built on automobile chassis.  They were the only trucks built while the Dodge Brothers were alive, they both died in 1920.
  After the war production of trucks were passed over to the Graham Brothers for a few years until the Grahams were brought in to the Dodge fold.
