Just to let you know. The WC53 never came with a winch from the factory nor have I seen any with one in WWII photos. WWII Dodges with winches had a different frame. The winch frames were not extended with bolt on extensions like the later post war PWs. The frame on the WWII Dodges winch trucks were simply built with longer frame horns on the front.

My WC53 has well built frame extensions that were built to accommodate both a winch and a snow plow frame. I later shortened the extensions as I do not need a plow set up. Whom ever built and welded on the extensions made sure that they were strong and basically not removable. My WC53 was not set up to use a MU 2. It has a cheap knockoff of some sort. I added the MU2 and the bumpers and bumper supports when I rebuilt the truck to make it period correct as it would have been extremely difficult to remove what was there.
