Thumbs up Saw these in baja california mex

I saw these 4 years ago for the first time, went back 2 weeks ago and still there. They are in a small town,almost a gost tow.It was a gold mining town back in the 1800's.How much the WC21 is worth?It has no motor or trans,dont remember if it has a transfer case,everything else seems to be there.There was nobody in the house so I could not ask if it was for sale.

Cool find! I have been looking for ex-us miilitary stuff in Mexico for years and have never come across anything. All those trucks are WWII, whether or not it is worth the trouble to try and get any of that home is debatable.

Default Baja !

I will try and buy the WC21 .The bead is off the truck but it has all the original wood in it,and yes no rust! it's still green.And Baja is relatilvely safe if you use common sence.Me and a budy of mine got to the" town " at 2:00am and sleeped in the back of the pickup .But the again it was during the SCORE BAJA 500 , so there was people camping here and there.
