I would prefer to e-mail this to you, so this doesn't turn into a squabble on Joe's site but you don't post an address?? I am also just trying to help a newbie. Unless I read you posting wrong you refer to WC & VC's as militarized Power wagons this is wrong, these are military vehicles from the ground up, the Powerwagon (civilian P/U with military sheet metal) was born from these vehicles (3/4ton WC) but that still doesn't make them a PW. I'm not trying to be picky but why confuse a newbie with vehicles that are called Powerwagons in slang. If I sounded to condecending (I had to look that word up ) I apologize to you and anyone else I might have tick off, NOW if I WAS being picky I would tell you that a V-41 and a WC-63 (1 1/2 ton 6x6) are not the same (as you stated), a V-41 is a long wheelbase M-37 (M-56 chassis) that was later redesignated to M-201 (the WWII version is a WC-59) and I would also tell you the only JEEP that is easier to restore then a M-37 truck (parts wise) is a M-151, but hey who am I to be that picky (after all I've made my share of misread information)
Best regards (always)

P.S. WOJ I believe T202 is the Chrysler engineering symdol an VC is the "DODGE" sales # But I could be a little confused on that (kinda like those fiber gaskets)
