I bought a WC 62 rolling chassis with a cobbled WC 53 carryall cab on it a year ago for the transfer case only so that I could install the transfer case in a M601 that I was rebuilding at the time. Instead of using the transfer now I am thinking of getting the WC 62 going and making it a open cab again and flatbed. Having never driven or rode in a running WC 62 as this one has its engine froze, I was wondereing if they are underpowered since all four rear wheels turn except when you engage the front axle and have the 6x6 mode operating. Is a rebuilt 230 up to the task for using the truck as a livestock and trailrider or would a fellow be better to look at a 318 conversion? I know nothing as to starting a 318 conversion, wouldn't know what type of 318 to look for and connection to transmission. Hopefully some of you here have experience driving and seeing WC 62's and can help me out with some suggestions. Thanks for the time and thanks Joe for alowing us to have such a site as this to use.
