My new old WC53

I wanted one real bad so I contacted some MV friends. Found her about 1/2 hour north in Alton, Illinois. She's a 3/4 ton Weapons Carrier. WC-53 Carry-All, probably 1942 or 1943. One of 8400 made. Army used them for radio cars. I think this one is ex-Air Force.
She's going to look real nice next to my 1/2 ton. Anyone want to bust their knuckles?.....................Regards,John
