Found - WC63 in NorCal Wrecking Yard

[rxinhed]

I posted a few weeks ago, not sure what model this truck is, thought it was an "M" designation. However, some clarification was provided in my thread.

This is a some-year Dodge WC-63, missing a fair deal of things but may serve someone as a project or parts. I hiked the pile of rubble the poor truck rests in and got some cell phone pics. Review the link below and see what I saw. This truck had a winch, now missing with the hood, windshield frame and what have you. I'll forward price and contact info if someone is interested.

Good for you for sharing the information. It's a sad thing to find trucks in situations like that, and always nice when they can be rescued.

Welll... I guess you could tell me what they want for the beast. I'm not completely committed to the WC rescue business, but this one deserves the love.
Could be a fun day trip for the kid and me.
Thanks for shouting about it.

When I inquired, the gent calmly said $1K would take the entire vehicle. Since that moment, someone else I conversed with has purchased some parts from the truck...may be significantly less $$ now, but you'd need further information to ascertain a reasonable price. I went to this yard today, but looking for CJ parts for a coworker...did not quite make it through the yard to the Dodge.

Also, I have discovered a similar closed cab 6wd dump truck a few miles away. I'll find some time in the future to get pics.

Wc-63

Thanks, Russell, but that may be a little rich for a picked '63. There is that guy on evilbay, however, who wants $2800 for his junk wc62 right up in the same area this '63 is.
Let's see, buy them both for $3000, scramble, and you'd only need...uh...a winch, running engine, about $8000 in parts from John at Midwest Military, and...lets see...about three years to do the project.
I'm being foolishly optimistic here, of course.
Better has been done with worse, though.
