The Dodge WC-51 is an American military truck from the Second World War. The first prototypes of the family of these vehicles appeared in 1940, and serial production was carried out in 1940-1945. Approximately 124,000 Dodge WC-51 cars were produced in its course. The drive was provided by a single engine Dodge T-214 with 92 hp. The car was 4.24 meters long and 2.11 meters wide. The maximum payload was 800 kilograms.
The Dodge WC-51 was one of the vehicles belonging to the Dodge WC family of off-road vehicles and trucks. Together with the famous Jeep produced by the Ford and Willys factories, they were the basic light, trucks and off-road vehicles of the American army during World War II. Dodge WC-51 was, however, characterized by worse off-road maneuverability than the Jeep and a larger silhouette, which negatively influenced its popularity among soldiers. Dodge WC-51 was built in a pick-up body, with an open driver's cab, which could optionally be fitted with a machine gun position (e.g. Browning M2 or M1919 rifles). The Dodge WC-51 was used extensively by the US military in 1941-1945, for example during the campaigns in Italy (1943-1945) and Normandy (1944).
