 WC62 RANGOON DODGE PEOPLE HAULER
In Jan 06 I took a trip to Burma to visit the Ledo Road and to look for WWII vehicles to photograph. In Rangoon I came across probably 3 dozen or so of these WC51 and WC62 or (WC52s or WC63s with winches removed) that have been coverted to people haulers or commerial trucks. Most of these were along a street that sound like "insane street" but I am sure that is not the correct spelling. Rangoon must have the largest population of these truck that are still being used daily in the world. I call them the Rangoon Dodges for that reason.
|  When I first saw some of the Dodges I thought they were WC51s and couldn't figure out how they had stretch the bed to haul more people. When I went across the street to get a picture of one then I noticed the large wheel well and noticed they were WC62s with one of the axles removed.
|  You see these trucks just parked along the street. ?waiting for the rush hour?
|  |
 |  |  The flat head six just keeps ticking after all these years of hard work.
|  I suspect all these WCs have been modified one way or another like this alternator.
|
 Don't think that is a Dodge starter, Japanese most likely.
|  Not dodge, I think I was told it was GMC but probably Japanese
|  |  |
 |  |  |  |
 Most have these screen between cab and bed
|  |  |  Is that an original dodge frame number?
|
 |  This is a newly redone Dodge WC. That is the owner next to the truck and our guide.
|  The owner claimed he did the artwork

 |  |  You frequently see these shell up front with flowers
|  I think this was a Japanese engine
|
 A liitle firewall modification. Not sure about transmission but asking different driver I know many were still dodge
|  |  The next project?
|  The parts department
|
 |  This was another WC off the beaten path next to a glass factory with a project vehicle next to it
|  |  This may be a M601 also
