Application
This master cylinder is applicable to various Dodge WC-series vehicles from 1940-1945, including ½-ton models (WC-1 through WC-50, T-207/T-211/T-215) and ¾-ton models (WC-51 through WC-64, T-214). Also usable on post-war Dodge M37 ¾-ton lorries (1951-1968, G-741) and various civilian Dodge lorries from the same period. Always verify bore diameter and connection dimensions before fitting.
Installation notes
Always fill and bleed the cylinder on the workbench ('bench bleeding') before fitting. Use clean DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Connect brake lines with a torque wrench to prevent thread damage. Bleed the entire braking system thoroughly after fitting. Test the braking system extensively before the first journey — a properly functioning master cylinder is crucial for safe operation.
Compatibility
Please note: different versions exist for ½-ton WC (1940-1942) and ¾-ton WC/M37 models. Bore diameter and connection dimensions may vary. Some early models had 11" brake drums front and 14" rear (T-211), whilst later models had different configurations. Verify that this cylinder matches your original version in terms of bore and connections. Not all cylinders are interchangeable without modifications.
Historical context
The Dodge WC-series, nicknamed 'Beeps', was a robust family of light 4x4 military lorries that totalled over 337,500 examples during WWII. The post-war M37 (1951-1968) built upon the proven WC technology and saw active service in Korea and Vietnam.
