Were the first aid kits, if equipped, mounted to some sort of bracket inside the vehicle (WC-53)?

There was a box / drawer that mounted under the glovebox, maybe back against the firewall, which was standard on late trucks and I think the First Aid Kit would fit in there.

Would this be below the map table? Anyone got a picture?

That's the thing. Was it suitable for the First Aid Kit too? I don't remember any other storage for it.

I'm unclear if the 3/4 ton Dodge WC's had a standardized first aid kit. I think the Jeep did after a period of time. Have not discovered any information on the Dodges during the war.

Good to know there was no standard first aid kit at the time… that box under the dash isn’t a standard ammo can, is there a common source for these?
