Application
For WC-series vehicles without factory-mounted winch (non-winch models). WC-51 vehicles had no winch as standard and a front bumper 10 inches (25 cm) shorter than the WC-52 with winch. This gusset is specific to the shorter non-winch bumper construction.
Installation notes
Mounts at the connection between front bumper and frame rail on the left-hand side. Attach to the frame first, then align the bumper and secure with original hardware. Check that all mounting points fit properly before final tightening.
Compatibility
ONLY suitable for non-winch configuration. Vehicles with winch (WC-52, WC-57, WC-63) have a longer frame extension and different gusset/bracket configuration. Not interchangeable between winch and non-winch variants.
Historical context
The Dodge WC-series 3/4-ton lorries were produced from April 1942 to August 1945, with over 255,000 units built. Of the WC-51/WC-52 weapons carriers, 123,541 units were built as WC-51 without winch, versus 59,114 with winch as WC-52.
