Notes | The US firm Dodge began producing military trucks in 1939 and in 1941 developed a range of 4x4 ¾ ton trucks to carry heavier ordnance than the Jeep. These came in many variants with the G-502 line of vehicles including weapons carriers, carryalls and ambulances. The WC series stands for 1941 (W) and C (3/4 ton). The WC-51 and 52 were issued as weapon carriers and used to carry weapons, troops and ammunition on the battlefield. These are actually the same vehicle with the only difference being was the 52 had a MU2 Winch installed. |
