Now that the WC-52 is done, a companion piece, the WC-63 was finished as well. This truck is the 1.5 ton version of the WC series with an extended body and 6 wheels. It was used as a personnel carrier, equipment carrier and towed guns as well as other trailers. Anti-aircraft guns were also mounted in the body on some. This one is pulling a Class 1000 trailer pump the way it would have when the truck was in service with the fire fighting platoons of WW II. Same front end as the WC-52 but different body style as you can see.

The fire pump trailer that the WC pulls was finished today. Now it's on to the WC-63 which is a 6x6 based on the same chassis as the 52 except that it is 4 feet longer and has tandem rear axles. In the meantime the 52 can pull the trailer as well.

The pump enclosure was made removable for better viewing. When inside the trailer it is all but hidden.

The model is finished and will now take its place of honor in the home of a WW II vet who served in a fire fighting platoon from 1943 to 1945. He has the Class 1000 fire pump trailer to hitch up to it.

Here's a look at the dashboard. Not much left to do now. Some decals for the unit number, registration number and a few stars. Got to wait for some replacement printer cartridges, though before they can be done.

Here's where the project is as of today. The winch and bumper finally got installed. Took a bit of fiddling to get things so they looked right. Some markings for the hood and bumper and it will be almost finished.
