Dan- Don't limit yourself to the WC12, There were other WC models of that era such as the WC1 which was also a closed cab. The WC21? was an open cab with the great looks of the WC12 hood and winch. Also the later 3/4 ton WC52 is cool too.
I have heard that the M37 is a great one for smoother ride and are relatively abundant. I thought that repowering with a diesel would be nice.
WDX-WM300 trucks are just so classic when you think of 'power wagons'. Finding good sheet metal can be problematic, but at least the metal is so thick that hammer-dolly work can be done.
Beware of over priced trucks-seems lately that folks are really pushing the envelope on prices for FFPW's. Since they are going for a lot-makes more sense to restore your own if your mechanically minded and willing put the time in.
You should have no problem findign the truck of your dreams.. Everyone here is great and willing to help. Subscribe to the Power Wagon Advertiser and Military Vehicles Magazines to keep on top.
