First resource is Vintage Power Wagons. Dave Butler is a stand up guy, and
I can't say enough good about him and his operation.
http://www.vintagepowerwagons.com Get their print catalog. It gets better
every year, and this most recent issue was EXCELLENT!
For wiring, I recommend using Joe Hall of Vintage Wiring of Maine.
http://www.vintagewiringofmaine.com
I have seen his work- he apprenticed to Kevin Marin under Precision Wiring
as he bought the business. His prices are better than the old Precision
prices, and he is a great guy to deal with. I think his WC harnesses run
$550 for a complete harness- including everything and a REALLY good
instruction manual to put it in the vehicle.
For headlights, you need a standard three prong sealed beam. If you have
the original dishes, take them to a TSC store, and find the 12V matching
tractor headlights. Just don't point them out to Law Enforcement, as they
are not DOT approved.
Reflectors are going to be hard to find. Spare tire carriers are impossible
to find.
Two other resources http://www.dodgepowerwagon.com Make use of the forum.
Linked from there is the WWII Dodge Forum. They are done respectively by
Joe Cimoch and Gordon McMillan. Gordon is an excellent authority on WWII
Dodges (although he will say he is not, but he has learned a great deal
about them through 7-8 restorations).
Good luck. I love WC, and own two WC53's myself.
