37 with original body are getting reare. The engine mut not neccessaryly a T245, any Dodge flat head looks the same, up to a 5.7 l engine. A transmission and a transfer from a W300M power wagon is the same. The interior of the M715 series transmission and transfer is of the same rating. The...
Some call it VC, some call it WC. Both is used in the manuals and books I oven. Both for the 1/2 ton Dodge. According the the pics and data I can refer to, these vehicles are identical. So according my references I'm correct.
In the US they were usually called WC.
In Europe the were usually...
Looks like scrap stock. 11.00-18 tires are not made any more for at least 10 years. Even the US-Army does not know any more source for new tires. The repalcement size is 12.00-18 from Cheoslovaca or Russia.

The basic harness is the civilan one. The military stuff is a add on as you can see on the hand made quality (may be you do not see it, however we in Europe identify that relatively easy).

If Diesel engines (and any other engine did not run for at least one year it is normal that they will smoke a like. The piston rings do not do the...
For me it looks like an aircraft tow truck, slow but strong.
I know somebody who was doing these modifications on regualr (sometimes surplus) truck to fullfill the requirements of the local air port. At least the maker I know supplied some 30 vehicles of different origine to different air ports...
