An upgraded version of the WC-62, it featured an additional front-mounted winch for enhanced versatility. Powered by a 92-horsepower Dodge six-cylinder engine, the WC-63 excelled in transporting troops, supplies, and equipment across challenging terrain. Its robust design and all-wheel drive made it reliable in diverse combat environments. Commonly used by U.S. and Allied forces, it also served as a platform for communication and medical evacuation roles. The WC-63 played a significant logistical role in ensuring operational mobility and support during the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/powersearch\/?Search=CAT_TYP_TRK_WC63\"\u003eDodge WC 63 6x6 1.5-Ton Truck\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned as a Weapons\/Troop Carrier for the Dodge WC series of light military trucks, the WC 63 was essentially a stretched version of the WC 51 with an additional axle making it a 6x6. This lengthening came as a direct result of the US Army's decision to increase the size of a rifle squad from eight to twelve men. With a 1.5 ton payload, the WC 63 could not haul as much as the ubiquitous 2.5 ton M35 \"Deuce-and-a-half\" but it was nevertheless produced in vast quantities and formed an integral component of the US Army's logistical force.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/range\/diecast-model\/armor\/motor-city-classics-armored-fighting-vehicles\"\u003eAFVs of WWII  Armored Fighting Vehicles\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  AFVs of WWII  \"Armored Fighting Vehicles\" range presents affordable, ready made diecast models of military vehicles in 1:43 scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAFVs of WWII  \"Armored Fighting Vehicles\" diecast vehicles feature:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiecast metal and plastic construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotating turret, elevating cannon and accurate hull.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitted, non-moving tracks and detailed non-rotating wheels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear acrylic display case to protect model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AFVs of WWII","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49049988858011,"sku":"24218-40  (Web only)","price":52.58,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/9214\/7611\/files\/66550.jpg?v=1791914842","url":"https:\/\/passiondiecast.com\/products\/web-only-143-dodge-wc-63-6x6-15-ton-truck-us-army-1940-afv-24218-40","provider":"Passion Diecast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
