Application
This lid frame was applied to Ford GPW vehicles from May 1942 onwards. Early GPW models (before May 1942) did not have a reinforcement rib. Check your vehicle to determine which design (with or without rib) is correct for your specific build date.
Installation notes
The frame is mounted between the tool box lid opening and the rear panel. During body restoration: verify based on your vehicle's DOD (Date of Delivery) whether your GPW should have the design with or without reinforcement rib.
Compatibility
Specific for Ford GPW with reinforcement rib (from May 1942). Early GPW vehicles (February - April 1942) use lid frames without rib. Not interchangeable with Willys MB lid frames which have a different configuration.
Historical context
Ford introduced the reinforcement rib on the tool box lid frame in May 1942 as a production improvement. This reinforcement rib was applied until September 1943 on GPW bodies.
