Application
This ACM Type 2 front floor is correct for Ford GPW and Willys MB vehicles produced from January 1944 until the end of production in August 1945. During this period, both Ford and Willys used composite bodies built by American Central Manufacturing Company. Please note: this is NOT the correct floor for early Willys MB bodies (before late 1943), which had different channel configurations.
Installation notes
Installation requires removal of the old floor and welding of the new panel. Check before installation that the original fuel tank fits correctly in the tank well. The reinforcement channels are fully pressed and already welded — no assembly required. Use steel reinforcement collars around the mounting points (supplied in high-quality sets) instead of wooden blocks to prevent corrosion. Please note: oversized part — shipping requires larger packaging.
Compatibility
ONLY suitable for ACM Type 2 bodies (late war). NOT compatible with early Willys MB bodies which had different channel dimensions and positions. The ACM2 has an additional hole for radio conduit which is not present on early floors. For very late production 1945 vehicles with deep mud exhaust (without underfloor exhaust brackets), an alternative ACM2 variant exists without exhaust mountings.
Historical context
American Central Manufacturing Company began production of standardised bodies for both Ford and Willys in late 1943. These so-called 'composite bodies' combined features of both manufacturers and were used exclusively from January 1944 until the end of war production.
