Dodge WC64 KD (Knock Down) Ambulance Project. Possibly returned from Europe, it travelled a long distance before we got it. The engine is a T-214 which may not be able to be rebuilt. The WC64 KD is one of the rarest of the WWII Dodges. The design was innovative, mirroring future ambulance compartment designs of the succeeding 50 years. The design was intended as a replacement for the standard Dodge WC54 ambulance, and 2-3 KD ambulances could be shipped cribbed and stacked in the space taken up by one WC54. Most people (including me before I owned one) think that the sides can be folded down for shipment but this is not so; the rear body is modularly constructed so as to be taken apart, or "knocked down," and placed into shipping crates. When the un-constructed ambulance arrived at its overseas destination, it was assembled into field use configuration. I like to think of this ambulance as the one built to invade Japan.
This project includes mostly complete rear box. Missing are the upper stretcher racks, spotlight stanchion, spare tire carrier, passenger seat, and rear step. Price is $2500 and will be sold with notarized bill of sale. Truck is located near Baltimore MD. It can be stored at my location in outdoor storage for up to three months if paid in full. Email or call 443-250-9037.
