No Norwegian gun mounts on WC.

This is correct, in addition;
-most WC had installed a Norwegian winter top over the cab, with a
metal frame and doors. The only mod to the vehicle, apart from some
holes, are: new stud fasteners around windscreen, and the profiled
metal plate over the front tool box in the cargo bed has been replaced
with a thicker flat plate.
-Added lighting switches and electrical outlet socket on dash.
-Some converted to 12V, but with original Dodge 12V parts.
-Norwegian thread tires.
-vinyl tops on some
-Some WC54 converted to radio use, with ambulance interior missing.
-Some had the trailer lighting socket replaced with a NATO type.
-Some had replacement headlights.

Thats about it. Normally very easy to convert to US spec. Repairs and
replacements have normally been made with NOS parts.
