Application
The Dodge WC53 Carryall was a 3/4-ton 4×4 personnel and cargo vehicle with capacity for up to 8 persons. 8,400 units of this model were built between 1942 and 1945 for the US Army (G-502 contract). The shipping stencil was applied before transport to the shipping ports and contained length, width, shipping weight, combat weight and other relevant information in white paint 1 to 2 inches high.
Installation notes
Apply the stencil to the desired location (typically on the body side or rear). Secure the stencil with light pressure or temporary spray adhesive. Apply several thin coats of white paint with spray gun or sponge for sharp edges. Remove stencil carefully before the paint is completely dry.
Compatibility
Specific to Dodge WC53 Carryall (3/4-ton 4×4). Not suitable for other WC models such as WC51/52 (weapon carrier), WC54 (ambulance), WC56 (command car) as each model had its own specific dimensions and weight data.
Historical context
Shipping stencils were applied according to US Army regulations before shipment from the United States. The markings in white paint on black panel or directly on Olive Drab paint contained essential logistical information for transport by ship and rail to the war zones in Europe and the Pacific.
