THE TRUCK IS 1943 WC-53 COMMAND-CAR(OR CARRY-ALL). THE ONE I'M LOOKING AT IS
A HARD TOP. THE TRUCK STILL HAS THE ORIGIONAL FLATHEAD IN-LINE 6
UNDER THE HOOD. ALL THE RUNNING GEAR IS COMPLETE AND INTACT. AS FAR
AS I CAN SEE NO MAJOR MODIFCATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE TRUCK.
WHERE WOULD I FIND THE MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBERS ON THE TRUCK SO I
GUYS A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT THE TRUCK IS?
WHEN I LOOKED AT IT THERE WAS ONLY ONE FRONT BENCH SEAT, I HAVE NO IDEA
WHERE THE REAR IS. THIS TRUCK IS NOT A SOFT TOP MODEL (IS THIS A
COMMAND-CAR OR CARRY-ALL)MORE ALOND THE LINE OF PANEL VAN. ANYWAY,
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FLOOOR FROM UNDERNEATH IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS WOOD
BOARDS FORMING THE FLOOR BOARD BEHING THE REAR BENCH. THE TRUCK WAS
FOR MANY YEARS TO HAUL A FLAT-BED TRAILER FOR HAY AND TO ELK HUNTING
WITH IN THE COAST RANGE A FEW TIMES.
THE SHEET METAL IS ALL ORIGIONAL AND JUST HAS SURFACE RUST AND FEW MINOR
DENTS ALONG THE RUNNING BOARDS AND IN THE REAR DOOR OTHERWISE THE BODY
IS VERY STRIAGHT.THE ORIGIONAL COLOR MAY AHVE BEEN A DARK GREEN OR BLUES,
AS THERE IS STILL REMENANTS APPAREANT.IT STILL HAS THE ORIGIONAL COMBAT WHEELS.
ALL GAUGES LOOK ORIGIONAL AND ALL GLASS IS NON-CRACKED AND IN FINE SHAPE, BUT
MOST OF THE INTERIOR IS MISSING, MAINLY THE HEAD LINER. THE CARRY-ALL
OR COMMAND-CAR (WHICH EVER IT IS)HAS NOT BEEN RUN SINCE, PROBABLY THE EARLY
1980'S.
THE FARMER HAS NO IDEA HOW MUCH HE WANTS FOR THE TRUCK AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE
FAIR TO HIM ON PRICE.
HOW RARE ARE THE WORLD WAR 2 CARRY-ALLS AND COMMAND CARS?
ANY INFO ON THIS TRUCK WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ONE OF THESE
SINCE I WAS 16 AND STARTED DRIVING.
THANKS FOR ANY FURTHUR INFORMATION,
CHRIS
