Application
This deep neck radiator cap is the early type for Dodge WC series vehicles. Specifically suitable for models such as WC56 Command Car, WC57 Command Car with winch, WC53 Carryall and related variants equipped with the longer filler neck. Later in production, the design changed to the shallow neck version (part number 927692).
Installation notes
Please note: check whether your vehicle is equipped with a deep neck or shallow neck filler neck on the radiator. The deep neck has a considerably longer neck than the late shallow neck variant. On vehicles with expansion tank, a special overflow cap was used instead of this standard pressure-regulated cap.
Compatibility
NOT compatible with: late WC models with shallow neck radiator (these require part number 927692), and vehicles with radiator expansion tank (these require a special overflow cap). Early and late radiator caps are NOT interchangeable - always check the height of the filler neck on your radiator.
Historical context
The Dodge WC series featured two types of radiator caps during WWII production. The early deep neck version was later replaced by a shallow neck design, with the radiator itself also being modified.
