Nick Johns Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) After 3 months hectic restoration work we got the 1941 1/2 ton Dodge WC 11 Panel van to Beltring, still not finished yet, but it created a lot of interest, it would appear to be possibly the only complete original one this side of the pond, aint many left in the US either, now considered to be a bit of a rareity because there were only 360 built ! Had some luck in the stalls, found a pair of NOS King Bee marble reflectors for it Edited July 29, 2010 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
