Historical context
The Dodge WC-52 was equipped with a Braden MU-2 winch of 7,500 lb capacity at the front bumper, for which the frame was 25 cm longer than the WC-51 variant without winch. These reinforcement plates were essential to accommodate the additional load from winch and winching operations.
