1942 Dodge WC-51 Weapons Carrier military US Army vehicle World War 2

The Dodge WC series, nicknamed "Beeps" and at first (from 1940–1942), nicknamed jeeps is a prolific range of light 4WD and medium 6WD military utility trucks, produced by Chrysler under the Dodge and Fargo marques during World War II.

Together with the 1⁄4‑ton jeeps produced by Willys and Ford, the Dodge 1⁄2‑ton G-505 and 3⁄4‑ton G-502 trucks made up nearly all of the light 4WD trucks supplied to the U.S. military in WW II – with Dodge contributing some 337,500 4WD units (over half as many as the 1⁄4‑ton jeeps).

Contrary to the versatility of the highly standardized 1⁄4‑ton jeeps, which was mostly achieved through field modification, the Dodge WC‑series came in many different, purpose-built, but mechanically uniform variants from the factory, much akin to the later family of High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles.
