Application
Suitable for Dodge WC-56 Command Reconnaissance (without winch), WC-57 Command Reconnaissance (with winch) and WC-58 Radio Truck. These 3/4-ton 4x4 vehicles were produced from 1942 until April 1944 and were equipped with a complete canvas top system including side doors for weather protection.
Installation notes
The locker is mounted on the body to secure the canvas. When fitting a complete canvas set for Command Car: ensure all lift-the-dot fasteners, snaps and mounting points are correctly positioned before fitting the doors. Canvas should be fitted taut but not over-tensioned to allow for shrinkage.
Compatibility
Specific to Dodge Command Car models WC-56, WC-57 and WC-58. These vehicles featured characteristic canvas side doors (unlike the Willys Jeep which had no fixed doors). Note: different mounting points than for cargo trucks or other WC models.
Historical context
The Dodge Command Cars were equipped with canvas doors for better weather protection compared to the open Jeep, which was important for officers and command posts. Production was discontinued in April 1944 because the distinctive silhouette of the Command Car made it an easy target for enemy fire.
