Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Do you have any pictures of your dad's WC-21 that was part of D-Day and beyond? The 1941 WC-21 was typically only used overseas where it had either been already deployed at the start of the war, or was early invasions/deployments such as Burma, or Africa. I would love to see pics of its used on mainland Europe 1944 and after.You can buy a hard copy from vintagepowerwagons.com. I just got one. Has everything in it.
Also, you can still read it if the power goes out. It's cordless. I am in the process of a frame off restoration
on my WC21. Same model my Dad drove through Europe, from D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, Rhine river
crossing. He was in the 35th Inf, 448th AA AW Bn. He made it to 100 yrs old. he will be gone 5 yrs Memorial Day 2020.
Really good looking work on the truck. Am interested in the backdrop on the wall--was that painted on directly etc., please fill us in on what was the story of the mural. I have similar work on my shop wall done by a very talented painter friend- will get some pictures to post.
I will have to send you a copy of a document that my Dad picked up in Europe. He found it on the ground, and it was from a guy from the 216th FA Bn.Thanks for the pics! Our Dad was a combat Engineer (6th ESB, 203rd Engr C BN) on D-day. We are currently restoring a 1941 WC-21 that we are doing as a 29th Infantry Engineer Truck which they were in support of. You have provided great proof that there were indeed WC-21 in the Europe combat areas. Your WC-21 looks great! It is almost at exactly the same point of restoration as ours. Wow....your art on your wall is incredible. Thanks for responding. Please keep posting your restoration progress. thanks - Bill

beautiful.Here is the WC21 that I am restoring at the moment.View attachment 794511
Do you have a picture of what you need painted? We could print it on vinyl if you want. We do signs and graphics. I also had a WC26 Carryall/ sold it to a WWII re-enactor in Reading, Pa. The WC21 that I have is the same as the one my Dad drove through France and Belgium. D-Day through The Battle of the Bulge. He pulled a 40mm Bofors gun behind it.Love the mural and ceiling.....unfortunately I have a metal building shop with no flat walls and no ceiling...damn! Been trying for years to find an artist to do some nose art on the M18 and no luck. My WC-26 in front of the McDonald Ranch house where the first atomic bomb was assembled in July 1945...historic photos of the Manhattan Project show loads of Dodge WC26 carryall on the road and at the Stallion Gate. I may have some Dodge trinkets for your restorations.
