Application
Fits Ford GPW (1941-1945). Note: 4 gussets are required per vehicle (2 upper, 2 lower, left and right). Early CJ-2A models up to serial number 215649 use the same type.
Installation notes
Riveted or bolted to the frame. Originally rivets were used; during restoration special bolts with rivet heads may be applied. Fit the lower gussets to the spring shackles first, then the upper ones to the frame rail. Allow some clearance for alignment before final tightening.
Compatibility
Specific to Ford GPW. Willys MB uses similar but not identical gussets (with different stamped marking). GPW gussets typically have a stamped 'F' and different hole positions. Always check the original type on your vehicle.
Historical context
The reinforcement gussets were an essential part of the WWII Jeep construction. Ford produced these with a specific 'F' marking for their GPW models from 1941 to 1945.
