My buddy just bought a power wagon we think is either 1/2 or 3/4 ton....The tag says WD15 serial 1588242......... What the heck is it?

2 wheel drive cab
The WD15 is the 3/4 ton, civilian 2WD pickup 1942 - 1947 with 120" wheelbase. (The Museum has one.) The WC is the 1/2 ton civilian 2WD pickup 1942 - 1947 with 116" wheelbase. (The Museum has three.) The WD20 is the 1 ton civilian 2WD pickup 1942 - 1947 with 120" wheelbase. The WD21 is the 1 ton civilian 2WD pickup 1942 - 1947 with 133" wheelbase.
All WWII military Dodge 1/2, 3/4, and 1 1/2 (6x6) ton trucks used the WC prefix followed by the military model number.
If this WD15 has a 4WD chassis, you will have to use the frame serial number to identify what the WD15 body has been placed on. You can use the wheelbase of the 4WD chassis to make a quick identification. The Dodge military 1/2 ton has a 116" wheelbase. (The Museum has two.) The Power Wagon has a 126" wheelbase. (The Museum has five.) The military 3/4 ton has a 98" wheelbase. (The Museum has four.)
My references do not have the 2WD serial numbers by year. -
So where do Wal-Mart greeters go when they retire?
Do they take part-time jobs as greeters at the Kemper Power Wagon Museum, with pockets full of suckers for the toddlers, kibbles for the 4-legged friends, and spend their days cheerfully handing out detailed maps of the the museum with highlighted attractions and demonstration schedules? ;^)Originally posted by Paul Cook View PostComment

Thanks.....It was kind of hacked.....But done semi-decently....It has axles off of a newer dodge and a 318 with auto tranny...He got it for $1200 so I would say it was worth it....Fenders,doors, and cab are all in great shape......
