★ Professional reproduction manufactured according to the original specifications of the Dodge T-214 3/4-ton series. Essential component for an authentic restoration.
Application
This fuel tank is designed for the Dodge WC54 Ambulance (produced 1942-1944, approx. 000 units) and the WC64 KD (Knock-Down) Ambulance (produced 1945, approx. 500 units). Both ambulances were built on the T-214 chassis with 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine and had a 121-inch wheelbase.
Installation notes
The tank is mounted underneath the chassis using original mounting brackets and straps. Please note: early models (until mid-1943) had a protruding filler cap, later models a recessed version. Check which version suits your vehicle. Always use new rubber gaskets during installation.
Compatibility
This tank is specific to WC54 and WC64 ambulances. The WC54 and WC64 share the same chassis and fuel system but differ in body construction (WC64 has a 'knock-down' design for more efficient transport). Not all Dodge WC-series vehicles use the same tank — check the chassis number and model before fitting.
Historical context
The Dodge WC54 ambulance was the primary evacuation vehicle of the American Army in WWII and served until the Korean War. The robust 3/4-ton lorries with 4x4 drive could transport four patients on stretchers or seven walking wounded. The 30-gallon fuel tank provided a range of approximately 240 miles.
