Application
For Ford GPW vehicles in Right Hand Drive configuration. This RHD variant was originally produced for export to countries with left-hand traffic and later used by the American postal service for rural routes. Fits exclusively on Ford-produced bodies with the characteristic reinforcement rib between tool box lid and rear panel.
Installation notes
The frame is mounted in the right rear wheel arch. Note: RHD bodies are mirrored versions of standard LHD jeeps, with all body components (dashboard, pioneer tools, fuel tank) on the opposite side. Verify that your body is indeed RHD configuration before ordering.
Compatibility
ONLY for Ford GPW Right Hand Drive vehicles. NOT compatible with standard LHD (Left Hand Drive) Ford GPW or Willys MB. Fits only Ford-produced bodies (February 1942 - September 1943) or ACM composite bodies with Ford features. Willys MB had different frame configuration with round lock cutout.
Historical context
Right Hand Drive jeeps were extremely rare during WWII. They were produced for export to countries with left-hand traffic such as Australia, India and the UK. After the war, RHD jeeps were used in the US by the postal service for rural routes, allowing the driver to deliver mail from the right-hand door without getting out.
