The Dodge WC12 was essentially a modified civilian pickup truck, with a 4-wheel drive system and other modifications that made it suitable for military use. It was primarily used for transporting personnel and supplies, but it could also be used for towing small trailers or light artillery pieces.
The Dodge WC12 was part of a family of vehicles known as the “Dodge WC series,” which included a wide range of trucks and other vehicles produced by Dodge for the US military during World War II. The WC12 was produced in relatively small numbers compared to some of the other vehicles in the series, with an estimated 4,729 units built.
Despite its relatively low production numbers, the Dodge WC12 was a useful vehicle for the US military during World War II, and it saw service in a variety of theaters, including Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific. Some vehicles were also sold or given to other countries after the war, and they continued to see service in various parts of the world for many years.
