The WC-53 Dodge Carryall is a 3/4 ton, 4x4 truck designed for light cargo duty and troop transport. The 3/4 ton design replaced the 1/2 ton light trucks the Army had been using. This original vehicle had previously been set up as a command car, with radios and receivers (pictured below), but has since been reconfigured by the owner to carry soldiers.

The Carryall is versatile and is great for rear echelon duty. Due to it only having one exit for the passengers in the back to get out of, which also requires having to push the front passenger seat forward, it isn't suited for combat. With a hard roof to keep rain out, it was an ideal radio and command platform.
