★ This side panel is developed according to original specifications for early Willys MB jeeps from the production period November 1941 to March 1942. Essential component for preserving the authentic appearance of these rare early military vehicles.
Application
Developed for Willys MB with Slat Grille configuration, produced between November 1941 and March 1942 (serial numbers MB100001 to MB125808). These early vehicles had different body details compared to later production, including specific mounting provisions for the axe on the left side of the body.
Installation notes
The panel is mounted on the left side of the body at the rear quarter panel. The axe bracket is mounted to the panel with separate fasteners. Check before fitting that the underlying hat channel is also in good condition, as rust in this channel is often the cause of damage to the side panel.
Compatibility
Specifically developed for Slat Grille bodies. The early MB vehicles had different body details than later production, including the positioning and mounting of tools. Note: mounting provisions may differ between Slat Grille and later MB/GPW models with stamped grille.
Historical context
The Slat Grille Willys MB represents the rarest variant of the WWII jeep, with only 25,808 examples produced between November 1941 and March 1942. These early vehicles are characterised by their welded flat steel grille and differ in many respects from later production.
