Default Dodge WC's

Compared to CMP's , 3/4 ton Dodges have always been a little thin on the ground here . During the early Pacific war , just going by photos , the 1/2 toner was far more numerous in places like New Guinea .

There was a Melbourne based firm selling 3/4 ton Dodge weapon carriers just after the war . Canadian Cycle Company ..

I have been told that some were imported from the ETO and used by various state Govt. agencies , railways , SEC etc, in the 1950's . 99% of them you see are the bog standard WC51 with the odd winch model here and there .

I pasted this article on to the VMVC web site ages ago
