Application
Intended as replacement for rusted or severely damaged original body tubs on Ford GPW (1941-1945). Fits on original chassis with standard mounting points. Note: some adjustment (drilling, filing) may be required for perfect fit.
Installation notes
Professional installation recommended. Body tub is supplied in primer — final paint coat and rust protection must be applied by the fitter. Check all mounting holes and chassis mounting points before installation. Installation requires standard body-to-frame bolts, washers and rubbers (sold separately). See TM 9-803 for assembly procedure and torque specifications.
Compatibility
Specific for Ford GPW 1941-1945. Willys MB has identical body shape but may have subtle detail differences (such as Ford 'F' script positions). Not suitable for later CJ models without modifications. Check build year and chassis number for compatibility with early/late productions.
Historical context
The Ford GPW was produced from 1941 to 1945 by Ford Motor Company as the contract version of the Willys MB. The body tub formed the heart of these iconic ¼-ton 4x4 reconnaissance vehicles that were deployed in vast numbers during World War II.
