Hi, here's mine. I've had it since 2005 bought off a chap here in the U.K. who had had it since 1996. He apparently got it from Norway.
WC63
Serial No 82035984
Date on Build Card MAR 31 1944

I must get round to posting up the build card.

Cheers,
Chris.

Just dug out the information on my 1 1/2 Ton WC62, a Norway return. The frame number is 82005235 and the hood number is 3303744. This truck has been in East Texas since it was returned as best I can determine; completely restored.
Thanks, Mike

best way to get correct data is to spend 25 and order the build sheet from Chrysler.

I will add another WC 63 to the list with my first post, # 82035356, body tag # 4290-110405 , Eng is T214 24960(repowered not a 223).

Lots of excellent information here that I have already taken advantage of, and will use as the rehab of the truck progresses. It runs and drives well, but needs all the little stuff that makes us happy. Is there any method of tightening the torque arm sockets on the rear suspension that has been successful?

thank you Gordon for the timely assistance.
