How about the Weapons Carrier?

Life is short; enjoy the great outdoors

                          

I saw many Weapons Carrier when I was growing up, and they were used for many things:  hauling gravel and sand, construction materials. When I went to Sampaloc Tanay, there were lots being used for passenger travel and to serve the needs of logging or mining communities.

This was called the WC 51 3/4 ton weapons carrier. It had  Dodge 6 cylinder engine delivering 92 hp,  5675 lbs in weight, 13 ft in length,  6 ft 10 inches in width and 7 ft tall.  The WC 52 was equipped with a PTO winch.

I do not see many of these vehicles anymore because of the difficulty of getting parts.  It must have been a gas guzzler.
