In Reply to: WWII Slope top M/C Question posted by Bob Stopka on Wednesday, November 15, 2006 at 9:10PM :
Slope tops were on 3/4 ton WCs because they were mounted on the frame at an angle which makes the top parallel to the ground. M-37 flat tops will not work very well in an angled orientation on the WC frame because you cannot fill to proper level. Many brake problems are caused because M-37 flat tops are substituted for the sloperss on 3/4 ton WCs. I dont know what the 1/2 ton WCs used.
