Application
Suitable for Ford GPW jeeps of early production, before serial number MB 193040 (after which tyre pump brackets were added on the Willys MB). Also usable on Willys MB and Hotchkiss M201 when Ford-specific marking is not required.
Installation notes
The frame is secured with J-hooks to the top of the rear panel (top-hat section) and rests on support cups on both rear wings. The L-shaped brackets on either side lock the hinge tube into the cups. In the folded position, the frame is secured with spring clips on the wings.
Compatibility
This is the early version without the additional brackets for tyre pump mounting. From Willys MB serial number 193040 onwards, two brackets were added to the underside. Choose the correct version (early or late) appropriate to your vehicle.
Historical context
Ford produced the GPW under licence from Willys-Overland from 1942 onwards. All Ford parts bore a characteristic 'F' stamping for identification. The rear seat frames evolved during production: early frames without tyre pump brackets, late frames with brackets.
