Hi Danny, I know my way around the wc51.
The cap has only 5 terminals. It is 4 cylinder= jeep.
Yes the APT has the hood cut out.
At first glance , all that stuff in the box is later type WC51 except the brake drum, assuming that's what it is.
I am looking for an early, all steel cargo bed (tray or rear deck) for one, along with the outer windscreen frame, a fuel tank, the tail gate, head board, and one seat base. maybe I should buy your Dodge?

Hello Lynn,

This is the problem, i have a mix of (late) WC-51 and APT parts. Need to sort them out The brake drum is what it is, for the handbreak behind the gearbox.
The cap has 6 terminals so it is for a 6 cylinder. The high voltage cable should have it's connection on the bottom part which i have not found yet.
So...M37 or also APT but post war norwegian army upgrade?
Buy my dodge...i wonder what the shippingcost would be from the netherlands to NZ

I have sent a few PM's to various forum members for the APT manuals (and also have a few answers back). After my holiday i decide what to buy and from whom...

Danny,

Maybe these links are also of interest to you.....even though it doesn't go into extreme detail and part numbers:

Ron Perry, the owner of the website and MLU member, passed away a few years ago, so I don't know if the website will be around for much longer.

Just looking at the comparisons. The last two pictures are the tow hooks.
I have never seen a 3/4 ton U.S. Dodge weapons carrier with a rotating pintle hook. Only ever seen that on the T223 (WC62 and WC63)

The distributor top is, I believe, for an M37. The reason for no HT lead is that the coil (24 Volt) is within the ignition unit.
The M37 also has a rotating pintle hook.

Alex, thank you very much for the links! Very usefull.

For the distributor cap: M37 production started in 1951, also canadian M37CDNs where produced. The M37 used the same straight6 engine as it's WW2 predesessors.
The Dodge APT was produced in 1945 in 2 batches (of around 5000 each) I found out that the APT i have is from the second batch and these where, unlike the first batch, wadeproofed.
We never had M37 in the family so my only guess is that the norwegian army, my APT was used in, did an "upgrade" from the original wadeproof (round) distributor to the M37 wadeproof distributor. But...this one is 24V
Here is a photo i found on the net.
