Application
Specifically developed for Dodge WC-series Command Cars (WC-56, WC-57, WC-58) fitted with removable canvas doors. These command and reconnaissance vehicles had an open body with canvas soft-top and optional canvas doors for improved weather protection. Production 1942-1944.
Installation notes
The locker brackets are mounted between the canvas door panels and the attachment points on the windscreen and body. Before fitting, check that all mounting points on the vehicle are present and correct. In practice, canvas doors were often not fitted due to limited accessibility, but were provided as standard for adverse weather conditions.
Compatibility
Exclusively for Dodge WC Command Cars with canvas door configuration. NOT compatible with WC-51/WC-52 Weapons Carriers (different body shape), WC-53 Carryall (closed cab with metal doors) or WC-54 Ambulance. Command Cars had a specific open body without fixed doors.
Historical context
The Dodge WC-56, WC-57 and WC-58 Command Cars were ¾-ton 4x4 command and reconnaissance vehicles with a distinctive open body, used by senior officers during WWII. However, their conspicuous profile made them a target, which led to production being discontinued in April 1944.
