Application
Ford GPW 1941-1945. Also fits Willys MB and Hotchkiss M201, although the original marking differs (Ford used 'F', Willys had no specific marking on this component).
Installation notes
The old crossmember must be removed by drilling out the rivets. Note: the pintle hook reinforcement plate is often damaged during removal — inspect this and replace if necessary. Fit the new crossmember with the supplied rivets. The crossmember is located at the rear of the frame and supports the machine gun mounting plate.
Compatibility
Whilst this component is specifically marked for Ford GPW (with 'F' marking), the dimensions and mounting points are identical to the Willys MB variant. For correct restoration: use GPW-marked components on Ford GPW frames and unmarked components on Willys MB frames.
Historical context
The rear chassis crossmember supported the optional floor pedestal for the machine gun and was one of three main crossmembers in the GPW frame (four on the MB). Ford produced these components with the characteristic 'F' marking on most small components for identification.
