I have what I believed (when I bought it) to be a 41 WC52 3/4 ton truck. It has an enclosed cab with a regular pickup box and about a 96 inch wheelbase. Recently someone who has a whole collection of Power Wagons looked at it and said it is a half ton truck. He was referencing something about the cab and the rear shock mounts. I have no idea if he knew what he was talking about or not. One of the ID plates has this information:
Nomenclature: truck 3/4 ton 4x4
Supply service: Weapons carrier
Maintaining vehicle: Ordanance dept.
Make: Dodge trucks
Div. of Chrysler Corp. Model: W.C.52 U.S.A
Serial No. 81591206
Vehicle Weight Unloaded: 5550
Payload max gross country: 1800
Gross Weight maximum: 7350
Towed load maximum: 1000
Date of delivery: nothing is stamped here
Can anyone help me figure out what the heck this thing is?
