1942 Wc 25 radio command car

[Mike K]

Out of the 80,000 odd 1/2 Ton Dodges built , quite a few have survived in The U.S . These barn finds seem to never end . Carryalls , Command cars, Ambulances and pickups , turn up on EPAy regularly .

Basically three series

T207 Sep 40 to around April 41
T211 April 41 to Sep 41
T215 Sep 41 to April 42 .

I have owned a few including a WC 24 Command car , made up from a WC 21 chassis . I found the Command car body in central NSW in 1979 . The vehicle had been sold by Vic Drew ( Melbourne surplus truck dealer ) after the war to a country post office in NSW where it did the mail run . It was damaged in an accident and the body removed , the chassis cut in half to make wheat bins . I salvaged the body and put iton a WC 21 chassis , Its now owned by a VMVC member .

The radio version is rare , it had a SCR 193 or other alternative radio setups in it .
