Installation notes
The wheel house is attached via spot welds to the floor pan, side panel and rear crossmember. Note: Ford GPW bodies have a rectangular cutout for the toolbox lock, unlike the Willys MB (round cutout). Reinforcement ribs on the wheel arch were typical of Ford bodies built between March 1942 and August 1943.
Compatibility
Fits ONLY on Ford GPW bodies. NOT compatible with Willys MB (different lock cutout: round instead of rectangular). Ford and Willys used separately manufactured bodies until the end of 1943. From January 1944, the 'composite body' was used with round Willys-style lock cutout.
Historical context
Ford produced approximately 280,000 GPW jeeps under licence from Willys-Overland between 1942 and 1945. The rectangular toolbox cutout and reinforcement rib on the wheel arch were characteristic Ford details until the introduction of the composite body in 1944.
