it seems that you seldom get answers to any of your questions. its unfortunate that its not as easy to get info on the WC dodge as it is with the GPW MB.
42 GPW; 41WC6

Charlie, the first contract of WC-1 trucks had hood registration numbers from W-24615 thru W-25789 , second contract was W-25792 thru 27189 . The starting serial number was 8644701 for the run of WC-1 thru WC-10. You could probably guess use the latter numbers of the the first contract and early number of the second and you'dd probably be close.

Charlie, I have the original T-215 engine almost torn down, luckily it wasn't frozen up. I also have an NOS T-214 engine I bought that I might use in it until I get the T-215 rebuilt. The sandblaster is coming in 2 weeks to do all the sheet metal. Making good progress !
