Installation notes
This cowl side panel is welded to the body and replaces damaged or corroded original panel work. Inspection of adjacent panels (floor, side panel, firewall) is essential for correct fitment. Adjustment may be required on 70+ year old vehicles.
Compatibility
Fits vehicles with ACM1 (early American Central body, October 1943 - January 1944) and ACM2 (composite body, from late 1943) bodies. The composite body was used by both manufacturers from January 1944. Not compatible with early Ford-built bodies (until September 1943) which had rectangular toolbox lock recesses.
Historical context
American Central Manufacturing in Connersville, Indiana supplied during WWII body components for both Willys-Overland and Ford Motor Company. From late 1943, ACM introduced the composite body combining features of both manufacturers, leading to standardised production until the end of the war.
