WC-63 new to me

[battlecr]

Stumbled on to this little gem. It followed me home and the boss said I could keep it. Winch was cut off, I have found a winch but I'm putting out some feelers as I will be looking for a bed. Not in a huge hurry.

I need to put frame rails back on if I could get some detailed measurements and pic's that would be great.

You know what?, that is a rugged looking truck, and it seems to have found a good home. Good luck with the restoration, keep us posted and with pictures.

Nice looking truck! Do you know what year it is?

 

[battlecr]

The Title says 1942, but I need to check the frame.

Are you going to put tracks on it?

I think one sold for 25g at an auction in December 2012. That would be a Dodge I'd keep.

I can't help you with the measurements for the frame rails but I'll poke around for TM's. I can already picture it finished, beside Zelda.

Not shure but i think i saw this one for sale on the internet.
Or one looking very alike.

Did you find the measurments?

I do have the tm's for the 63, can take a look for measurments

You could do what my buddy Gary did with his and make a gun truck.

Nice Truck

If you can wait a reeeely long time, the wife and I are thinking about moving out to the northwest coast in the next year or so and I have a wc63 unrestored, with original front framerails that's coming along. Once we get settled in, you can get all the measurements you need. I'll even put your rails back to original for you if you want. Been sandblasting, fabrication welding and painting for the past 40 years. Spent the last 59 years in the same township in Wis., unbelievably sick of it, and don't want to die here.

Any updates?

I see you have the "arctic cab" installed. These were developed for cold weather use late WWII, but were not issued before the 1950's.
Good luck with your truck!
