As Ernie stated it is for the WC55. When I saw your first post on the truck I was going to e-mail you and have you check to see if it was one, I had this funny feeling when I saw the small gas cap. The WC55, just like the WC53 was a short production run truck, but several survive. I had one, and had the chance to buy a second one.
Another cool item about the WC55, it was also called the M6 GMC (Gun Motor Carrage).
One more "cool" item about the WC55, it can also, just like the WC53, be painted in your favorite shade of "Marine Green!!!" The WC55 and the WC53 were two Dodges that were given to the Marines in early to mid war because the Army had plenty and had no need for them. The WC55 that were given to the Marines ended up like the ones the Army kept, we removed the 37 gun and made them into WC52s.
Good find!!
