Description
This WWII-era Dodge WC-52 is a straight, running and driving example finished in wartime olive drab. As the winch-equipped variant of the WC-51, it retains the correct T-214 flathead six paired to a 4-speed transmission and 1-speed transfer case. Ideal for parades, display, or an easy rolling restoration you can enjoy as-is. 40–45 mph max speed
Character & History
One body panel bears period firearm impact marks. These were intentionally left unworked during paint to preserve the truck’s service character and tell part of its story. The marks are cosmetic only and do not affect operation.
