Designed as a Weapons/Troop Carrier the WC 63 was essentially a stretched version of the WC 51 with an additional axle making it a 6x6. This lengthening came as a direct result of the US Army's decision to increase the size of a rifle squad from eight to twelve men. With a 1.5 ton payload, the WC 63 could not haul as much as the ubiquitous 2.5 ton M35 "Deuce-and-a-half" but it was nevertheless produced in vast quantities and formed an integral component of the US Army's logistical force.

Forces of Valor's 1:32 scale Deuce-and-a-halfs are constructed almost entirely in plastic, which allows for an exceptional amount of detail. The models feature a detailed simulated canvas cover over a fully rendered cargo bay, and meticulously replicated suspension and drive-train. The cab is constructed of diecast metal and showcases a basic interior, fitted with a drive and removable gunner figure grasping a moveable M2 machine gun, positioned through the top of the cab. An assortment of battle-field equipment and applied weathering effects bring the model to life.
