Dodge wc in Canadian Army?

[Nick T236]

Hi,
yes mine is the 'wide' bodied WC 52, it seems to be 1000 to 1500 earlier than any other I can find.
I have also found two Canadian WC 51's which is interesting as I thought all Canadian dodges were 52's,
I am working on photo's of mine, any one else got any pics?
The tool rack is also on the tailgate at present, but I have been adviced that it should be on the end of the passenger side locker, virtical over the step?

Hello Nick

Indeed, the first 3200 vehicles had de "wide" body and from the 5001 st vehicle they started to make them waterproof. Some of the "older" models were modified.
It is indeed interesting to hear that there are wc51's!!
Until now i also heard only of wc 52's.
Do they also have the Canadian engine?
Which are the differences on your Dodge?
Perhaps this is a interesting site for you: www.wheelsofvictory.com

So far, we have confirmed that my friend has an early 1944 wide-bodied Canadian Dodge. Can anyone tell me how the height of the canvas back canopy compares with the US Dodge WC-52 or narrow-bodied Canadian Dodge? Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Joseph
