This vehicle is not an m37, im not positive but, I think it is called a Dodge WC53 probably around 1941. |

The name was correct. It is the Dodge M-37 (1951). The WC 53 looks like this: http://www.o5m6.de/dodge_wc53.html http://www.old-dodge-trucks.co.uk/dodge_images/dodgewc53-2.jpg The WC 52, for which you probably mistook this vehicle, looks like this: http://www.o5m6.de/dodge_wc52.html http://www.autogallery.org.ru/k/d/42wc55_18.jpg |

Certainly NOT a production M37! Perhaps a very early prototype based on the earlier WC52. The movie used two different military Dodges as I remember. This vehicle is based on a WC52 (WC51 w/ winch)1942-1944 with a custom rear bed and rear fenders, and cab. It has a shorter wheelbase than the m37, 1951 & later. This vehicle has the WC series hood, grille, windhsield...and combat rims of the WC period. I believe the M37 also used in the movie had a similar but not the same modified rear bed. Also the M series vehicle had the later style split rims w/o the larger nuts around the outer edge of the rim. It has been a while since viewing this film but both vehicles were used during the big scene with the Rhino...as if one could not tell the difference. Regards, Jim |

I'll let Alexander comment/reply, as I personnally do not know anything to these trucks. |

I will have another look at the film, but I lend the DVD to a friend. May take some days. It is funny, though, that DodgeMan never mentioned this -- he seems to be quite knowledgeable about these vehicles, too. We'll find out! |

Only the doors suggest M37 but they are too low. Eveything else screams WC52...hood, radiator, vented side panels, wheelbase, wheels, windshield... |

It is a WC-52 that has been converted with doors and a different back-end. From the side the back end looks somewhat like an M37 but it is not. To Alexander - DodgeMan has been busy with other things! DodgeMan |

I think we can revert the year to 1942, here, in place of 1951 which is not justified. |
