each time I drive my old dodge I think back to the old dodge power wagons.
do not know if dodge called them that during the war years, but the old trucks looked somewhat like old WW11 trucks
at one time I saw a film like this film, but it was about war production trucks made by all brands.. something about hells highway or some such, moving war supplies to the troops from the beach heads.
I wonder why dodge ever dropped that name (power wagon) from their 4x4 truck series, sounded pretty good to me.
The Dodges that were in WW2 were called Weapons Carriers(WC series)
I restored a WC62 about 24 years ago and drove it in the Veterans day parade for many years.I found the truck in a juckyard that used it as a tow truck.
the truck appealed to me as it was the only 6x6 made by Dodge.
The WC dodges omly had a single speed transfer,exept for the WC62 seies
pic taken 1994 at Power Wagon rally
notice bolt on Combat rims,used during WW2,later M series usede split rims.
