  • rolling chassis identification

    Hello All

    Just wanting to know if there is any easy way to tell the difference between a WC51 rolling chassis and a civilian wm300 style rolling chassis.as im a novice with these vehicles any info would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

    The Biggest and quickest thing to check would be the wheel base difference. 98 inches on the WC and 126 inches on the Power Wagon. After that the WC should have a single speed transfer case and the Power Wagon will have a 2 speed transfer case. 1 lever versus 2 levers. After that the WC uses a knee action shock absorber and the Power Wagon uses a standard using shock.

    I could go on with the differences but these are a couple items to check quickly. Upgrade to premium status and post pictures of what you are looking at. Thank you

      Say Matt, is the pintle centered on the rear x-member of the WC, or is it off-set, like the civi?
