★ Correct reproduction of the Ford GPW-specific design, which differs from the Willys MB version. These footrests are often missing from restoration projects due to rust or bending.
Application
Specific to Ford GPW jeeps built between 1941 and 1945. Note: this is the Ford-specific version with rounded design. For Willys MB, a different part is required (A-3144).
Installation notes
Mounts with bolts through pre-drilled holes in the rear floor plate, just behind the front seats. Two pieces required per vehicle (left and right). Check before fitting that the floor plate is not rusted or damaged in the mounting area.
Compatibility
ONLY suitable for Ford GPW. NOT compatible with Willys MB — the Willys MB uses a different footrest with flatter design (part number A-3144 or WO-A3144). The design is one of the recognisable differences between Ford and Willys body components.
Historical context
Ford produced approximately 280,000 GPW jeeps between 1941 and 1945 to the Willys design under licence. Despite the licence, Ford retained some of its own design details in the body components, including this footrest with characteristic rounded forms.
