these vehicles were finished in standard us matt olive paint and were marked with the usual registration number national symbols bridge classifaction and unit numbers etc. in addition the word ambulance appeared over the windscreen with a small geneva red cross on a white panel at either end. early vehicles also carried a white panelled red cross centered on the body sides above the waist moulding a 42x40 in panel on the roof and two panels on the rear doors in overall. in october 1943 much larger red crosses were adopted 36x33in on the bodyside 64x60in on the roof also centred on the wheel arch and a single panel 47x45in across both rear doors interrupted by the windows. across the four years 1942-1945 total production of the 3/4 ton wc-series t214 was 255.173 of these the number of ambulances was 22.857. the vehicles were supplied under the us government contracts w398-qm-11420 850 examples w398-qm-11422 9945 examples daw398-qm-448 16 examples w398-qm-13596 410 examples and w374-ord-2864 11.636 examples. -- http//www.hard-parts.org/ the best place for your hard to find part needs .. http//www.hard-parts.org/forum/index.php tech forum hello all i am looking for information on the colours and markings of the wwii dodge wc54 ambulance. but not the standard olive drab ambulances. does any body have any information on this. colours of navy- american field service ambulances markings of mp- communications- fire department- airport crash vehicles. any thing different than the standard olive drab ambulance. or does any body know where to go to get that information. please drop me a line at t3mmodels at hotmail dot com. thanks in advance. dennis .
