WC21

The WC21 is a 1/2 ton Dodge truck. Built in 1941, the 1/2 ton had a distinctive look with it's big curved fenders and sloping hood. Dodge offered many versions to satisfy the demands of the army. This one is an open cab model with the larger 230ci engine.
The Dodge got some needed maintenance and the top was completed.

The battery hangs just below the driver's feet. In this series of pictures the truck is still on a trailer. |

The dodge is ready for a fresh coat of paint... We washed it with a red (abrasive) scuffy pad all over. Anything that got in the way of spraying was removed. A few parts were taped off to protect them. The entire truck was finally wiped down with wax and grease remover. Take a look at the process.
Here the Dodge is on display at an event. Note the new tailgate finally installed! It was sourced from Vintage Power Wagons. This was the only place we could find that had the correct tailgate. The only reason they have it is because they build it! Looks like a good piece. It is missing the tie-downs, so we'll have to find some of those. The tailgate had a coat of primer and some green spray paint the day before this event. Cutting it close... It will get the correct green sprayed on it before too long. |
Take a look at the dodge WC21 with and without the canvas top on it. Really gives the truck a different look. |
