    a nice photo of my dad (Capt.Bauer RAMC) in front of an (Austin?) ambulance that he had just decorated sometime in '42 or '43. He was a talented artist - as can be seen in the picture. I particularly like the one top right! !

    The same as that..steel body and wood slats - and wood on the floor of the bed.

    I won't take her out much in winter - the open top is the way I like it but I take your point. This is my first WW2 vehicle and I flipping love it. Every night I go to the shed and just sniff the oily air. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but she's just jealous of my 'other woman'...

    ......just finished stripping down and re-assembling VSL424 - a hard grind over winter in a freezing cold shed. These are the joys of owning these great vehicles. I would love to get in touch with previous owner(s) though, to get some background on her. Please, can anybody help regards to everyone......Gerard Bauer

    astonishing that I have learnt so much from the start of this thread. i don't blame you reproducing Photo 30 - it makes a great subject. It was my first choice for marking my WC. (Another of Eddie Urban)? Pictured in front from left to right are: Walt MacDonald and Eddie Urban ( Eddie was a movie man). In the middle is Gene Coogan; at the right is J Malan Heslop; behind from left to right are Arnold Samuelson and John O'Brien. If you ever need correct props, cameras (working or prop)and photo equipment and spares, I have the lot especially Graflex and will always help the genuine Signal Corps and War correspondent enthusiast. (google "ikonta bloke") Hope to see you out there in your lovely WC news flash! J Malan Heslop archive is at Brigham Young University Website. 80 pages of stunning photos. All of his output digitised. Enjoy

    You're right. It is a 56. I just realised the A is a star covered by the rope. Army official photographers were usually Signal Corps so - right again Thanks for your excellent response.

    Steve, you're on. I'm certain I won't be using them. I'll let you know when I've finished her (end Jan) Cheers Gerard

    I came across a genuine colour WW2 photo (I think). I'm in the process of looking for markings for my WC51 and I also am a keen user of Vintage WW1 and WW2 photographic film equipment. When I saw this I reckon I can combine the 2 things. The Dodge seems to have a PHOTO marking on bumper. This vehicle could belong to the photographer who took this picture. If anyone knows of a Dodge that was used by War correspondents or photographers, I would be very grateful of info. [ATTACH=CONFIG]121707[/ATTACH] My pictures are on the web and details of camera equipment. Google "Ikonta Bloke"

    Thanks for these. I think I'll give up on the brit. WC. The Z serial seems authentic though. My serial is 81598205. The cab is comfy with the Winter kit but I really plan on using her in Summer so it has come off. I've no idea where the doors came from, but Dallas Auto may know. Once again, thanks for your efforts. I'll measure the cab.

    Great to be part of the HMVF community. I have a Dodge WC51 - just purchased and in the process of being stripped down. It was in UK military markings, specifically 11th armoured division. Does anyone know if these markings are authentic as I would like to re-apply them when I'm finished. If not, does anyone have any info on British markings for the Dodge? I would be very grateful for any suggestions Cheers All and Happy Christmas
