Q-Ball ◊ 2011-07-23 18:18	Looks like the outside of a US Base, so probably a military model. Notice how the rear wheel well keeps going after the wheel? I think this is a rare six-wheeled model known as a WC-62 There was also a WC-63 6x6 model, but that had a winch on the front, which I cannot see. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_WC_series#WC62 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dodge_WC-63,_Museum_of_Retro_Cars.jpg

The WC-52/53 wheel cutouts were round, the WC-62/63 wheel cutouts were elongated. This truck has evidence of elongated cutouts but with a short body. The tail end past the rear wheels looks longer also, again evidence of a WC-62/63 body. - DodgeMan
