Dodge WC55 short start up and run plus look around.

Hi all
This is my next project of a world war 2 Dodge WC55.
It has been sitting there for almost a year during to pandemic and couldn’t work on her until now, finally get to give her a start up and a very short drive. Plus look around what parts I still need to buy before starting to full restoration.
So far I know there about 3 or 4 in Australia that is WC55 without M6 cannon. I am planning to have mine mounted on her as I found one in South Australia but not very cheap.
Please like and subscribe.
Have a safe Christmas and a happy new year to you all.

    Nice, weird the builtcard says it is a WC 55 because they have always a winch.

    Dude....fix your linkages and carbie before you destroy that rare truck. Poor things screaming it's head off as you ride that clutch.

    Hi mate. Yes I know. The truck has no exhaust at all. I will be doing a full restoration on her. And I almost finished rebuilt the original T214 engine for the truck. Thanks for the head up. I have more then 4 WC dodge.
