In 1942, the Dodge WC range was significantly revised.
All four wheeled models were uprated to a nominal three-quarter ton payload rating, and in 1943 a 1​¹⁄₂-ton six-wheel drive variant was derived (see appropriate section).
All models were widened to a 64 ³⁄₄ in (164 cm) front and rear track, while at the same time the bulk of production (pick-up / weapons carrier and radio / command reconnaissance) models were significantly shortened, from a 116 in (295 cm) to a 98 in (249 cm) wheelbase, giving the vehicles much more squat proportions.
Ambulances, carry-alls, and telephone installation / emergency repair trucks received a wheelbase reduction of only 2 inches (5 centimetres).
Panel vans were dropped from the range and no longer made.

The volume production pick-up / weapons carrier models received a redesigned rear bed, seating troops on top of the rear wheels, instead of between them, further widening these models to 6 ft 11 in / 2.11 meters.
A single such unit, though compact, offered practical all-terrain transportation to a full eight man rifle squad and their gear.


The ​³⁄₄-tons retained the same 6-cylinder in-line, L-head engine of 92 hp (73 kW) gross, from the ​¹⁄₂-ton WC series.
