Scott, I was interested in seeing the serial number to see if the winch came off a WC or WDX-WM. From what little I know, it appears that you are right about the winch coming from a WC. The winches on WDX-WM trucks generally had 6 digit serial numbers, the first 2 digits being the year of manufacture. Winches on 3/4 ton WC trucks had a couple different series of numbers, the last of which were in the 300,000 range (I believe). I have no idea what era your winch is from, but my guess is that it was early to mid 3/4 ton WC production. Someone out there with a WC might be interested in it. As a side note, the early WDXs used surplus WW2 winches left over from WC production, which also carried the 300,000 series numbers.
A little Dodge trivia to ruminate on
