The 1940 Dodge / Fargo VC models formed the first production run in the U.S. military's G-505 range of four-wheel drive, half-ton, light military trucks.
Created based on Chrysler's civilian one-ton rated range of light trucks and carry-all, the VC models formed the foundation for the subsequent WC series.

All variants used the same 116 in (295 cm) wheelbase as the commercial trucks, but with the addition of four-wheel drive.
Bodywork and sheet metal on the pick-ups and carryall were largely copied from the civilian models — however, for the reconnaissance and radio cars, a dedicated open four seater body was created.
Also the same 201.3 cu in (3.3 l) inline six, flathead engine was used, but horsepower was raised from a 70 HP civilian rating in 1939  to 79 HP at 3000 rpm in the G-505.
The transmission had 4 speeds and the transfer case had one.

The VC series came in six variants, numbered VC-1 to VC-6, and internally T-202 by Dodge: 
VC-1: Command Reconnaissance – 2,155 units
VC-2: Radio Command Reconnaissance – 34 units
VC-3: Closed cab Pickup with bed seating for troops – 816 units
VC-4: Closed cab Pickup without bed seats – 4 units
VC-5: Open cab Pickup with bed seating for troops – 1,607 units
VC-6: Carry-all – 24 units
None of these trucks came with winches yet.
