Joris Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Nice truck! I've got an early Dodge WC51 body with later model bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Nice truck Wow! yours has the same oddity as mine! Namely the short early type drivers running board across the wider 'access body' gap Must be a Norwegian thing!! I've also seen a 6x6 which is the opposite... ie a running board which runs across the gap and under the body about 6 inches... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Energumen Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 I am just struggling with memory a bit nowadays, but I am pretty sure that my old friend Clive bought this from me, when I was sorting the disposals, and I notice he still has one on his credits.

GoranWC51 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Energumen "Serial no. 81755***". That's a pretty late serial number. My WC51, also ex Norway, is 81741448 and was by all accounts built in February 1945. As always, Goran N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
