mazungumagic Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Did I get this from this forum??? It's not a wc51, but still not far away... Marty Thanks for that, Marty. This pic is of interest to me because it describes the truck as a Fargo. I know they were of the same family at that time, but the WC 55 was a Dodge and these early WCs bore the Dodge nameplate. Also of interest to me was the fact that the crew are training the 37mm gun forward over the vehicle's bonnet - surely this would have been a no go area.

Jack The first times I heard of the wc55 it was always mentioned as a Dodge, but lately while searching specific for that on the net it often is reffered to as Fargo. During the same hunt for info it was said that it always was fired backwards. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
