1941 Dodge WWII truck WC-43 first drive 1

Here's a vid of me driving my 1941 Dodge 4x4 Army truck (WC-43 Telephone installation) for the very first time- gas can wired to the radiator support, sitting on unupholstered springs; no lights, etc. Lucky I didn't get a bunch of tickets!
See the second one:

My next door uncle worked for an infra construction company that used 3 of these trucks to plough cables into the ground, ballasted with concrete poles. Later they only used them to haul their equipment and tools through farmland. It was 13 years ago when my neighbour retired early. They offered him the last one as a retirement project. He rejected it but was sorry afterwards..

Yeah, I bought that 1940 truck on the premise that "I'd be sorry" if I let it go to the scrapper.
