I have always admired the WWII Dodge Trucks, and I have recently become interested in restoring one. However, I also recently sat in a WC-56 Command Car for the first time, and realized that it would be virtually impossible for me to drive, as my 6'3" body just doesn't fit, particularly with the throttle pedal mounted way up high on the transmission tunnel.
So, my question is this: Is the throttle pedal (or gas pedal) located in the same location on all WWII era WC's? Or is the WC-56 Command Car an anomaly?
In particular, I'm very interested in restoring a WC-63, as this is one of the vehicles which my father most admired as a mechanic in WWII, plus I personally think they are really cool looking trucks. However, it would be difficult to be enthusiastic about restoring a truck I can't drive. Unfortunately, the few times I've seen one, I've never thought to sit in the driver's seat and find out.
Thanks,
Garret
