Can anyone ID this Dodge chassis?

This appears to be a WWII? Dodge chassis with center fold hood and flat fenders. The rest of the sheet metal is gone. Drive train is intact (probably frozen up). Check out the pictures.

Get the Frame Number. It should be behind the left front Wheel.

Looks like the chassis for a WC21 or there abouts.

Wow! I'd love to have the dual rear rims! I would also say it was a WWII dodge of some sort.

Such a cool find!

1942 Dodge WC-41 is a guess

I think you nailed it glassk . I will find some drawings and check some measurements. Thanks all.

Good call Glassk

Half ton Dodge, without winch. Could have been anyone of the weapons carrier (pickup types - not ambulance, command car) but probably was a closed cab, as many were used on construction of Alaska (ALCAN) Highway.

Does not have to be a WC41, just because of the duels in the rear. That was the cool part about the 1/2 ton Dodge rims, you could set them up as duels on any 1/2 ton Dodge.
One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Early-ish half ton Dodge WC. Code on the engine will probably be T207 or T211 if you clean it. Frank is right about the dual wheels. I don't think this was a dual wheel unit from the factory, as the Maintenance trucks and the like ( that had factory duals ) had helper springs on the back axle and some had fishplated chassis strengthening - don't see either here.

The chassis number, from the front left chassis rail side, will lead you to a Build Card that will tell you exactly what it started as and the date it was built.
