I have been following this thread since I have one of these trucks. I always thought it was a WC, learn something new every day. Went outside last night in dark to look but could not make everything out so had to wait till morning to look closer at my data plates. According to data plate my ignition coil and distributor are not waterproofed, but looked at steering box and it sys it is wade proof.

It does sound like your WC-52 is not a Canadian Built unit, I could be wrong, as I have seen some odd trucks out there that I never knew existed, of all the Canadian Trucks I have seen they all have stamped D3/4 WP/APT built in Canada where as the American trucks are stamped WC-52 USA built Detroit .

Hello Eric

That is interesting your serial number is 506 and the truck I have is 955, built 13 days after your truck, and so many miles between the truck I have, this one belonged to RC Canadian Signal corps, ignition not wade proofed either which I find odd. One other plate on this is truck is the small brass tag stamped " Model is D 3/4 WP/APT - GS-1"
