Application
These straps were used in the Dodge WC-54 ambulance (1942-1945) and WC-64 KD knock-down variant (1945) to secure the folding litters to the walls of the patient compartment. The WC-54 could carry four recumbent patients on litters which were fixed to the side walls with these straps. Suitable for authentic restorations of WC-54 and WC-64 KD ambulances.
Installation notes
The straps are attached to the footman loops mounted in the walls of the patient compartment. Each litter requires multiple straps for secure fixing during transport. The straps should be tightened firmly but not excessively to keep the litter stable without placing unnecessary pressure on the patient.
Compatibility
Specific for Dodge WC-54 (production years 1942-1945, 26,002 units produced) and WC-64 KD knock-down variant (1945, 3,500 units produced). Not compatible with earlier WC-9, WC-18 or WC-27 1/2-ton ambulances which had a different interior layout.
Historical context
The Dodge WC-54 was the standard ambulance of the US Army Medical Corps during WWII and served in all theatres. The litter straps were part of the Wayne Body Works interior and were essential for safely transporting wounded soldiers from the battlefield to field hospitals.
