Very nice... I spoke with a WW2 last fall that commanded a 57mm crew and they used the Dodge WC61/62 to tow the 57mm and the guys.

Yep, Marshall did a outstanding job....

He said they have restored about 50 57mm, and mine was the hardest he had ever done.

It can off a firing range, and had been run over by a tank, The trails had been cut off, and were bent, the 3" solid steel pintle pin on it was bent. It has bullet holes in the trails, and 1 in the recoil mechanism cap. I had them leave the bullet holes in it.....
