Do you have data plates for a WC62?
Can the plates on eBay be utilized with a 12 volt WC51?
Thanks in advance. Paul

Yes, I WILL have complete sets of plates for WC62/63 but have to wait for next batch.
The difference between 6 and 12 volt is the 12 volt Command cars, Carryalls and Signal corp Ambulances had a volt meter and you can see in the pic the extra plate they have on the bottom left of my pic. When I build my next WC52 it will be 12 volt and I will install a voltmeter and that plate. See pic of WC62 plates. Steve

Received mine today
They look very nice, well made. Now I need to find out how to stamp the numbers correctly. It's a 'one-shot' deal...no going back once the hammer is swung! Hal
I wish I had more time, more space, and more money!

stamping
I am glad you like the brass plates. If I decide to stamp them myself I think I will go get a scrap piece of brass to practice on first. The originals look to be hand stamped but I am not sure on that. The stamping space measure about 5/32". Let us know how your stamping goes. Steve

plates
Hi Ugg, depending on how well they sell I may keep ordering so keep an eye on this. I might have plates avaliable for a long time. I know I am ordering at least one more batch. I haven't broke even on the deal yet. I am waiting to see if I can get 1/2 ton plates and M37 plates. that mey create enough sales to justify this adventure. they are real nice. The pics don't do them justice. SteveUgg wrote:Steve:
I'm really sorry I couldn't get into that plate set deal. They look real good.I assure ya it wasn't for lack of desire, but lack of funds. They'd look real good on the Beast.
Oh well, maybe the next time.
Later

Ugg, I understand, I didn't do this project to make money rather to provide quality pieces for these trucks. In my early WC52 I liked the fact that I was driving a vehicle that contained no plastic or aluminum. My knobs were metal. The fact that I get pleasure out of that fact must mean I need mental help!

Com'on back out! There is a lot of opportunity in WEstern WA right now. My aunt lives in Chicago. I have been meaning to go visit her but same old story time and money. I like this part of the country. I was living in Austin TX for a couple years and that was real nice too but a bit too hot for me. Also I ski and the slopes were just too far away from Austin. On one of my next trips down ther I want to go see Paul Cooks Museum. Its between Ausitn and Dallas in Kempner.
