Joe,
I don't see an e-mail address for you in here, but if you're willing to answer a few questions about WC55's I'd sure appreciate it.

I just started working to get our family WC52 up and running well again (it hasn't been used a lot in the last 40 years after being a mainstay of ranch operations for about 20 years). As I started pulling things together, it has become clear to me that this is probably a WC55, not a WC52.

Anyway, if you can spare a little time, please drop me an e-mail at Alaskapa12@gmail.com,

Thanks,
Kenneth Martin

1 Mvc-001f Ammunition box for WC-55. Note the hinge is offset to the right. This box fits in the left rear bed corner. The box for the right rear location has the hinge offset to the left, and the two front boxes have centered hinges. All four are otherwise identical.	2 Mvc-002f Close-up of box hinge. The hinge is a unique type with extra distance from the edge of the lid to the hinge pivot point to allow the lids of the rear boxes to hang vertical when opened.	3 Mvc-003f	4 Mvc-004f
5 Mvc-005f Note the box holds 24 rounds in their original shipping tubes. This box has the upper spacer but is missing the lower one (both are identical).	6 Mvc-006f	7 1 Mvc-001f	8 1 Mvc-002f
9 1 Mvc-003f	10 1 Mvc-004f Note the distinctive ring shaped spot welds used throughout the ammo and ration boxes.	11 1 Mvc-005f Another close up of spot weld.	12 1 Mvc-006f
13 Mvc-007f	14 Mvc-008f	15 Mvc-009f Bottom of ammo box. Just like the embossed lids, the bottom pan is a rectangular sheet with the corners snipped off at 45 degrees, then bent down 90 degrees.	16 Mvc-010f
17 Mvc-011f The hat channel risers also have a heavy steel internal block spot welded in place. This is tapped to accept bolts that come up through the bottom of the ammo box sumps in the bed.	18 wc55-1	19 wc55-11 Right rear ammo box. Note how the extended hinge point allows the lid to hang vertical when opened.	20 wc55-6 Note locations of seperator brackets and the vertical strip used to join the two "U" shaped halves, creating a box
