1942 WC51

THIS IS MARVIN GREEN'S 1942 WC51.  THE VEHICLE IS A FORMER SWISS VEHICLE (DATA PLATES IN GERMAN AND FRENCH) AND HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN THROUGH AT LEAST ONE REBUILD.  THE SERIAL NUMBER INDICATES IT WAS THE 5001st WC51 TO BE BUILT, HOWEVER, IT HAS THE LATER STYLE HEAVY DIFFERENTIAL HOUSINGS WITHOUT THE BOLT ON INSPECTION COVERS.  IT ALSO IS EQUIPPED WITH THE LATER STYLE SHOCK ABSORBER LINKS.  THE FRAME HAS BEEN COMPLETELY STRIPPED AND BLASTED AND IS NOW GOING BACK TOGETHER. 

THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REBUILT AND IS READY TO BE PUT BACK ON THE FRAME.  MEANWHILE ALL THE ENGINE OPENINGS HAVE BEEN SEALED TO KEEP OUT THE MUDDIES AND MICE.  THE TRUCK SAT IN A PENNSYLVANIA FOREST FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS WITHOUT A CARBURETOR.  THE REBUILDER HAD QUITE A JOB GETTING THE OLD PISTONS OUT BUT REPORTS THE BLOCK, HEAD ETC. ARE IN GOOD CONDITION.

THE BED IS A WOOD FLOOR BED.  THE BED AND CAB HAVE YET TO BE WORKED ON.
