1943 WC 51

Vin number 81629643
This truck is being listed as a 1943. I am not sure -- the serial number matches 1943. We built this out of 3 different units. The cab and front end are from a 1945 KD64 ambulance and the box is off a 1944 WC 51. The chassis and engine are from a WC51, but not sure what year. Engine is a T214. Engine runs good and carries 45 psi oil pressure at idle. It is a bit tired though. Smokes as you can see in the photos below. All engine components are also set up for the late war period. When we were putting it together, a bunch of new parts were added. There is virtually no rot on the truck. It does have some surface rust, but that is all. All the tool box floors are solid. Front fenders are solid and are not swelled up at the lower gusset plates. Cab is rust free. The KD came out of Utah, and the box came from Northern CA. Good straight running boards. The inner windshield frame is the only exception. It is rusty on the bottom rail. We have our new reproduction ones in stock. Combat wheels all around with tires that hold air, but you will want to put new tires on for regular use. New parts added during construction: Blackout marker lights, Headlamp bulbs, Spark plugs, Voltage regulator, Gen to reg harness, 6V battery, Ignition switch, Trailer socket assembly, 6V Taillights, Choke cable, Rebuilt carb, NOS fuel pump with new diaphragm, sNew fuel line kit with hoses, Radiator hoses, Fan belt, Speedo cable, Outside mirror assembly, and a Complete exhaust system.
We did not do any brake work or lighting work during construction. We did not want to drive the labor cost up when you can do this work yourself and invest sweat equity.
