That is Nice!

Kind of thinking that the original flatty six is no longer powering that beast. I had a 41 but trust me when I say it was no where near as nice as this carry-all.

Dodge Carryall, WC26 I believe

Close, it's a WC53. The 26 was the half-ton carryall, the 53 is the 3/4 ton version. The 3/4 tons are recognizable by having a nearly flat hood while the 1/2 tons had a noticeably downward sloping hood. The half tons were produced before and very early in the war, then they switched over to the 3/4 tons almost exclusively.

IMO the 53 is the "grandaddy" of all wagon-type SUVs.
