Constabulary Posted January 8, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 8, 2009 Has some one ever seen pictures of an WC51 / WC52 truck in Vietnam? I wonder if they where still in use in the 1960´s or have they all been kicked out when the M37 has been introduced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1944WC52 Posted January 27, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 27, 2009 It would stand to reason that some may have got into the theatre via the French. I doubt they would have been used by the US formally. Most Vets I run into while driving my WC tell me "I remember those, ours had doors".

Brent There is some footage of NVA troops driving a heavily camouflaged GMC CCKW 353 over the Ho-Chi-Minh Trail though; probably ex-French. It may be that any WC's in Vietnam were used by either the ARVN or NVA. Greetz David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West-Front Posted February 9, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 9, 2009 I agree, it stands to reason that WCs would have been there. I've just gone into Time Life archives, and found images of MB Jeeps, M8, M24 etc. Maybe have a look thru their database. http://images.google.com/hosted/life/f?q=f...ffcdf6d4e486ed7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
