    WC-51 Restoration or Bust!!

    Well, holiday season is over and I am getting back on the project. Currently working on the axles and brakes. I have attached pics of the rear brake backing plates and the crud. I have cleaned everything up and refinished the inside of the backing plate with high temp engine paint. New shoes...

    Wc-51

    Gatordoc, the generator and the regulator should have metal tags indicating the voltage. Or, you can remove the generator and if it breaks your back, it is a 12V. :-P

    I think that is a 6 volt generator. Mine is a 1945 factory 12V and my generator is twice that size.

    WC-63 Brake Cylinder Compatibility

    Garrett, the carb for the WC51/52 and the M37 is the Carter ETW1. I am not sure about the WC63 but I would imagine it is. One thing you might keep in mind is that there are many products I see on Ebay that will tell you they fit a WC but actually do not so double check if you go that route...

    Wc-51

    On the way to get a WC-63

    Nice truck. The Combat rims are usually rusted between the main rim and the detachable rim. Make sure all rim bolts are removed and try inserting a shaft of some type from the main rim side and try to knock it off. I had some rims that never did separate. As for the pump. The user probably...
