Vehicle Description
1946 Dodge WC Series Pick Up Straight 6-Cyl and a 3-Spd Manual on
the Floor! Our WC Series Dodge Pick Up is an ALL Metal Restoration
done quite sometime ago as it was Cherished by a private new MoPar
Dodge Dealer and collector. From what I can tell, this was a local
towney truck that happened to be serviced or somehow known to the
upstate NY Dodge Dealer because he ended up purchasing not one but
two of the trucks owned by original owner. Obviously with the means
to have it maintained and looked after, the truck was thoroughly
restored and parked where it was seldomly used. When we acquired it
as part of a much larger purchase in late 2023, we found it with
old gasoline that had gone fowl and an inch of dust on it. A New
battery, fuel, filters, carburetor rebuild with oem/nos carb
rebuild kit, distributor work, and some tinkering,,, the truck
started right up and runs great. We proceeded to rub and polish the
exterior and after getting excited over how nice it shined we
decided to pull the bed boards and restain them. In my opinion, it
just made the truck pop! The Vintage Firestone Wide Whites are nice
but are a bit squared from slumbering for so long. If this was
stored like the other vehciles acquired then it has been dormant
for about a couple decades.With streamlined, Art Deco-style front
sheetmetal, and introducing the concept of "Job-Rated" truck
configurations, Dodge tried to offer customers the truck that fit
any job they were buying it for,[3] literally comparing it to the
process and user experience of buying shoes. As a result, the 1939
to 1947 Dodge truck range was offered in a bewilderingly large
number of available variants and model codes. Six different payload
classes, a wide range of bodies, and more than twenty different
wheelbase lengths were manufactured, and fitted with different
sized versions of the straight six-cylinder Chrysler "Flathead"
side-valve engines - from the half-ton TC pickup truck on a
116-inch wheelbase to three-ton tractor cabs. In 1940 alone, 20
different truck frames were simultaneously produced in the same
year, which increased to 31 different chassis frames, for 17
wheelbase lengths in 1947. Nevertheless, mechanically, the trucks
were all very similar, with solid axles front and rear and leaf
springs at all four corners. With World War II taking up most of
production capacity from 1942 to 1945, the 1939 styling continued
largely unchanged through 1947, as engineering and production
became the main focus. The Dodge trucks enjoyed some popularity
before the war, and the last of them - built in 1942, before Dodge
turned to mostly military production - had progressed to the
W-series model name. When commercial sales of the trucks restarted
post-war, they resumed as the 1946 Dodge W-series. We sell and ship
worldwide as well as offer low interest extended term financing
