Application
For WWII Dodge WC open cab vehicles: 3/4 ton 4×4 models (WC-51, WC-52) and 1-1/2 ton 6×6 models (WC-62, WC-63), production 1942-1945. This fastener is used to attach the front of the canvas cap top to the windscreen support frame.
Installation notes
Mounts to the upper edge of the windscreen support frame. The canvas cap top has corresponding eyelets or turnbutton fasteners at the front. Essential for a watertight seal between canvas and windscreen.
Compatibility
Specific to open cab versions of the Dodge WC-series. Does not fit closed cab models (command cars, carryalls, ambulances) which have a different canvas construction. Also not suitable for the early 1/2 ton WC models from 1940-1942 which had a different windscreen design.
Historical context
The open cab Dodge weapons carriers received a canvas cap top that was attached to the cargo bed canvas with leather straps and turnbuttons, and to the windscreen support frame with these metal fasteners. This system allowed quick installation and removal under field conditions.
