martylee Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Hi peter! There's both WC51s and wc54s for sale in norway as we're writing. I'm not sure what kind of shape you'd like it to have!? http://www.network54.com/Forum/86929/thread/1192164496/WC-54+Selges http://www.network54.com/Forum/86929/thread/1191779219/Dodge+WC+51+til+salgs. The last one should be able to driven onto the ferry and taken home to good ol' Denmark. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 OVERHALT VED HKVS VERKSTED DKN ORDRE 22 131 1962 MEK NO -39 I do believe that DKN might mean that this vehicle belonged to "Distrikts Kommando Nord-Norge" which means it was used by the army in the northern part of Norway. I will try and look a bit more into it. Since there's an order number I guess that if you locate the archive they should be able to tell you what the unit belonged to.

Tony B Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Looks same as mine :-D One thing the Norwegians took good care of them, but the paint :shake: Be prepared to spend many happy hours scraping off layer after layer, the bright side is precious little rust.

The last one should be able to driven onto the ferry and taken home to good ol' Denmark. Marty Hi Marty Sounds easy - driving onboard the ferry - but the really hard part is filling out bunches of custom documents since Norway is not an EU member. I even heard that a special permission is required for exporting historical items – and some custom employees consider dodges and GMC’s as historical. In a sense they are, but they are quite common and not especially Norwegian one could argue. Have you heard of this historical export thing? Peter: I know a guy here in Denmark having one or two Dodges for sale (and a GMC). Feel free to send me a mail if interested. Have in mind that trucks weight more than 3500 kg are much easier and cheaper to get licence plates for. Best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Here's a link to a thread on a norwegian forum discussing export of vehicles from norway: http://www.network54.com/Forum/86929/thread/1168441938/ And here's a link to the law itself: http://www.lovdata.no/cgi-wift/wiftldles?doc=/usr/www/lovdata/ltavd1/filer/sf-20070101-0001.html&emne=50+%c5r What is said at the forum is that you'll need to apply to the army mueum if the MV is over 50 years old. It is also said that it has become somewhat more difficult. They're again saying that the regular jeep, Dodge and GMC does not cause any problems. There's also mentioned a couple of ways to avoid this process. Like if the buyer comes to Norway and picks up the vehicle himself. That wouldn't be any problems here in Norway, but would the buyer be able to get a license plate on it in his home country? The other way is if I just happened to sell it while on vacation in Holland when I go there the next month... So for every rule and regulation, there's a way if you're smart enough.

martylee Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Any luck on the info from the forum re my WC54's previous service as a radiovan. This is the answer from the forum, several links for radiovan, but I don't think any in norwegian service. But I haven't checked them out. so enjoy... http://www.network54.com/Forum/86929/thread/1190822349/Dodge+Radio+vogn marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Marty, Can you tell me what this means - came from a plate on the generator of my WC54 - OVERHALT VED HVK VERKSTED/DKT Also from engine rebuild plate: HERENS VAPENTEKNISKE KORPS Overhalt ved HVK verksted/DKT means that it underwent maintenance at the armys technical corps shop at DKT Region Trøndelag. (DKT distriktskommando trøndelag) This is the area around Trondheim. Does this answer your questions? Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Where would this hobby be with out the internet ! I looked in on the Norwegian link :computerterror: and the spent a great time checking out the range of information through the 7 site's listed there . the first one at Http://www.dodgewc54.com had a section with the stories of the ambulance drivers , really interesting to read something I would not have found as easily or simply while I don't have a Dodge WC54 now, I might just want one :whistle: Just need to win that Big Money Lottery so I can have more TOY'S :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martylee Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 A lot of you have these ex-norwegian army vehicles with blue plates that tell you that it was "overhalt" at DK something. Thanks to a member on some other board I can now bring you the 5 diferent DK (distrikts kommando) Regional commands.

Marty Hi Marty Thanks for the links and your words of wisdom. I'm currently considering importing a GMC from nearby Oslo. The seller agrees on driving it on board the ferry. That would save me for a lot of paperwork and questions. I will collect it in Copenhagen, mount the temperary licence plates, and drive safely home with my Jimmy #2. Also thanks for your detailles about the "overhalt" plates. They are all over my GMC. Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martylee Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 That's some 40-50 KM from where I live.. I'm only staying thursday - monday and busy with Bruce on friday. I'm hoping to persuade Iris to take me to the Marshall museum one of those days. I'm coming back next summer, if not before, to visit some other friends for their wedding. Probably staying a little longer then. Perhaps I'll stop by your place then! I'm a bit afraid it'll turn out a dutch treat though! :-D Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
