DODGE WC 51
The Dodge WC series was a prolific range of light 4WD and medium 6WD military utility trucks, produced by Dodge / Fargo during World War II.Together with the 1⁄4-ton jeeps produced by Willys and Ford, the Dodge 1⁄2-tons and 3⁄4-tons made up nearly all of the light 4WD trucks supplied to the U.S. Army in WW II – with Dodge contributing some 337,500 4WD units – over half as many of these as the jeep.
WC was not an abbreviation of „Weapons Carrier“, but a Dodge model code – initially W for 1941, and C for half-ton rating. However, the ‚WC‘ model code was retained for both the 3⁄4-ton and 1 1⁄2-ton 6×6 Dodges – as well as for the subsequent model years.
