1941 Dodge WC-10, 1/2 Ton 4X4 Carryall
According to the serial number on this vehicle, it was one of the first 350 of this model to be made for the US Army. The 1/2 ton WC series trucks were only made in 1941 and early 42, all other 4X4 Dodges made during WWII were 3/4 ton models. The panel body from the front doors back is a 1938 design. This truck was originally used as a radio communication vehicle by the Army. I bought this truck for $1100. in 1983. The engine was damaged so I used one from another old Dodge truck. Dodge used the 6 cylinder L head motors from 1934 to 1972 in 100's of 1000's of vehicles. Many of these motors are still in use so tune up parts are available and inexpensive. I don't drive as much as I used to but when I need it for a task it's always ready. Its a good old friend!

The Old Truck about town.
The "Cash Register building" in the background. A Denver landmark!
The building was owned by United Bank, then Norwest Bank, now Wells Fargo.
