Application
Suitable for Ford GPW military jeeps (1942-1945) with original folding rear seat frame GPW-style. The GPW rear seat frame featured the characteristic Ford 'F' marking and differed in details from the Willys MB design.
Installation notes
The seat pan is attached to the rear seat frame by welding or bolting, depending on the original construction. Check the condition of the frame before mounting. After installation, the plate should be painted in the correct colour (Olive Drab). The seat cushion is secured over this plate with cord or clips.
Compatibility
Specific to Ford GPW rear seat frames. Not interchangeable with Willys MB without modifications due to minor construction differences in frame geometry. Later civilian CJ models used a different mounting method for rear seats.
Historical context
Ford produced approximately 280,000 GPW jeeps between 1942 and 1945. The folding rear seat frame was standard equipment and could be folded up to create cargo space in the load compartment.
