Application
Dodge WC53 (3/4-ton Carryall), WC56 (Command Reconnaissance without winch), WC57 (Command Reconnaissance with winch). These vehicles were regularly equipped with SCR-210, SCR-245 or other military radio installations, requiring antenna cables to be routed through the body.
Installation notes
The grommet is installed in a pre-drilled hole in the body panel. Ensure the rubber is fully seated around the opening. The antenna cable is pulled through the grommet before connectors are fitted. Check the seal after installation to prevent moisture ingress.
Compatibility
Specific to Dodge WC-series Command Cars equipped with radio equipment. The WC58 (official Radio Truck variant) had a 12V electrical system and radio equipment fitted as standard. WC53, WC56 and WC57 often received radio installations in the field or during production, requiring this grommet for the antenna cable from body to antenna base.
Historical context
Dodge produced over 26,000 Command Cars in the WC53/56/57/58 series during WWII. These vehicles served as command posts, reconnaissance and communications vehicles, where reliable radio communication was crucial for combat operations.
