Delbert Davis walks us around a Dodge WC-59 Telephone Maintenance 3/4 ton, 4x4 that was at the Mid Atlantic Air Museum's WWII Weekend in Reading, PA, in June 2012.

That would be an awesome vehicle to build from scratch. Simple lines and structure, to build, yet very interesting in over all presentation. Would look great in a diorama.

Any info on the cloth top sometimes present over the driver and co-driver?

No, I found a photo of the cloth top.



looks pretty much like the cloth top found on other Dodge WC's,



on the WC-59, there appears to be some kind of frame attached to the bed to hold the back of it.
