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! Thanks for sharing. Keep 'em rolling..
Nice, weird the builtcard says it is a WC 55 because they have always a winch.

@@ridingwitha6vbloke878 Do you happen to know what model of truck they are off of? I am thinking of mounting some 9x20's on my m37 and am in need of rims.

@@w2slav when I purchased my first WC dodge and I was told it was from a 1940s chev truck I couldn’t find any information about the rims until I found a rims on a ford truck at the car show and I ask the owner of the ford truck and told me it’s a 1940/1950 Chevy rims truck. But still couldn’t find information. Where are you base. I am base in nsw Australia.
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.
