Do you know the body tag numbers for these trucks as well?
Thank You for the Hood numbers, but I'll keep the WC52 in the austrian army style, its been rebuilt in 1953 in the Karlsfeld Ordonance depot anyway, but I'm thinking about painting the WC51 in the original way.
The body tag on the WC 52 is missing, but the number on the WC51 is 4290-130297
the number of the WC52 wreck is 4290-157124

The 56 is a late March 43 production and I suggest a registration number of 20471233 if you need one.

Since my carryall was built in the last contract of 465 I wondered how
the original body tag screwed to the front door frame was so low 4249-1289.
Were body tags switched during post war norwegian rebuilds ?.Were can I find
or who makes repro zinc body tags. Regards Joe

Re: 3/4 Ton Database and Helpful Links
Norweggian rebuilders committed many forms of heracy...putting older bodies on later chassis. I have noticed that the '42 bodies seem to have better survived the ravages of time (perhaps they used cheaper body steel beginning in '43)cappy42 wrote:Got my build card today,please add information to database.

Re: 3/4 Ton Database and Helpful Links
Hola Divin,
I need your help.
I have a friend in Mexico, which has a WC-54, nº 815 62 766. I think the car will be 22 of august 1942, + -1 week.
You could confirm the date and tell me the number of hood, please?.
I'll tell him to request a photocopy of B.C.
Thank you very much,
B.R. Juan15

Re: 3/4 Ton Database and Helpful Links
I think the date sounds about right, a hood number would be about 712084 +or-50
