A frend of my send me some pictures of a Dodge he found on a junkyard in Argentina.

Can anyone tell me what type of WC it is or it's an Argentinean modification?

Looks like a 3/4 ton (WC 51/52) with a added cabin and pick-up bed.

.. actually, its one of them EXTREMELY RARE early wc-51 units made for the euo-nigerian-islamic Army. Note the hanging pedals indicating a post war transmision upgrade made for non-manual transmission shifttng recruits. Most likey also has the EVEN RARER V8 option.

Further investigation shows that said vehicle must have been employed in duties in colder climates hence the VERY RARE G.I. hard cab upgrade.
Very Rare factory top only seen in Arctic bound vehicles used in Eskimo training facilities.

Also note the smooth sided bed modification used in jumgle applications where branches, vines and other vegitation would easily roll off the sides rather than get stuck in sharp cornered recesses.

All in all, a VERY RARE speciman, with a "round the world" sort of combat history, worthy of a full rebuild.

Or for parts!

Just kidding guys.... Thought I would have fun with this one.

heck, I seen B.S. written up on Ebay like this on similiar trucks!

It appears to be a open cab (WC51) with LOTS of post war upgrades.

does it have a V8 install under the hood?
