That looks very nice. Another WC12 in Aust. Can't recall the details like where it is.

Mike,
There were quite a lot of them in Australia and the earlier almost identical WC4. Many went to Darwin and a lot went to New Guinea with the early American arrivals. There are a couple in the Brisbane area. Lang

Looks like it was a fairly tidy vehicle to start with Lang.

A mud fest scene in New Guinea. And a US restoration.

Yes Jack it was very complete with all tags and original fittings. Army number under the paint on the bonnet.
I got it in Texas to fill a container but it turned out the most desirable vehicle to restore. I had exactly the same type of vehicle back in the 80's (off a banana farm near Byron Bay) and did tens of thousands of km in the days when we went seriously off road with the military vehicles. Kids and the dog in the back on an old Holden seat - you would be arrested today. I absolutely loved it. As fast as a Jeep, a lot more comfortable and was always the last man standing on any steep climbs or river crossings. Most people don't realise how much better, not stronger, the half tonners are over the 3/4 vehicles. This one is for the 2019 Normandy trip. Might drive it from India. Lang
