I found this tonight. I really want it.
I might be able to get it.

How much would you be willing to pay for something like this?
What can you people tell me about it?

I"m thinking it's a 40's or 50's 2.5 ton powerwagon type thingy.
I"m probably wrong. All I know is I want to get this and make it drive then take ot to the Con and pull every ones broke dead shit out of the box.

Guy I did some side work for tells me I can probably get the beast for a few hundred bucks :D

He's going to ask the guy that owns the yard tomorrow first thing in the morning.

HMMMM all the Early ass powerwagons I have found on the net have horizontal louvers instead of vertical louvers on the side of the hood.

Any one have an idea why?

Just what fawking year might this be?

WWII Dodge "WC".

These were made into several types of vehicle on similar chassis, Ambulance,Dump Truck,Wreckers etc.

Do a search on Dodge WC...or call John at Midwest Military. He deals alot with these vehicles.

BTW...when and if you get this do not just toss whatever you wont be using into the trash..parts are scarce for old military vehicles and someone surely can use anything you cant. Recycle!!

I think it has it's motor and everything.
If I get this I will probably just try to get it running the way it is.

I thought it was a Chevy myself. 1.5 ton chassis.

If you don't get it, I want it!

Would go nicely with my WC.

Well crap I'm trying to find out exactly what it is.

It looks like an early dodge but the dodges seem to have different louvers on the side of the hood. The Hood also isn't angled down as much on the dodges from what I can see.
It does have that huge Dodge powerwagon looking bumper with a fawking huge PTO winch.

Has any one found any pictures similar on the web?

Buggy, CJ, Waggy, BUG, what else do you have sitting around?
