★ This seat pan is specifically designed for early production models and slat grill jeeps, taking into account the differing positioning of fuel tank filler and mounting points compared to later standard production.
Application
Intended for early Ford GPW vehicles produced between February 1942 and mid-1942 with slat grill configuration. Early models had differing fuel tank openings (small mouth vs. large mouth) requiring specific seat pans. Fits driver seat left, lower section of seat frame.
Installation notes
The lower seat pan is attached to the seat frame and serves as a base for seat cushions or springs. Note: early models used different configurations for fuel tank openings — verify the position and diameter of the opening in relation to your specific fuel tank. The pan is attached to the frame using the provided holes; a stone guard (protection plate) at the rear is mounted to the floor plate with three bolts.
Compatibility
NOT interchangeable with late production MB or GPW seat pans. Early Ford GPW and slat grill Willys MB had different dimensions and positions for fuel tank filler than later standard production. Small mouth fuel tanks (used until chassis approx. 739) require different seat pan openings than large mouth tanks. Check your vehicle before ordering.
Historical context
Early WWII jeeps, including the iconic slat grill models and first Ford GPW production, had various body details that were later standardised. Seat pan configurations differed between early and late production due to changes in fuel tank design and mounting.
