★ This repair panel makes it possible to restore corroded or damaged sections of the rear wheel arch without complete replacement of the body tub.
Application
Suitable for Ford GPW jeeps built between 1942 and 1945. Fits both early Ford-built bodies (February 1942 to September 1943) and later ACM Type 1 and ACM Type 2 (composite) bodies that Ford used from September 1943 onwards.
Installation notes
Fitting requires removal of the damaged original panel by drilling out spot welds. The new panel is positioned against the wheel arch, rear panel and side panel and secured with spot welds. Use a support bar across the tub during fitting to maintain structural integrity. Careful alignment before welding is essential for correct fit.
Compatibility
Specific to Ford GPW. Please note: whilst GPW and Willys MB body parts are largely interchangeable, small differences may exist in press forms and mounting points depending on production year and body type (Ford-built vs. ACM Type 1 vs. ACM Type 2 composite). Check your original panel before fitting.
Historical context
The Ford GPW used different body types during production. From February 1942 to September 1943, Ford built its own bodies, after which American Central Manufacturing (ACM) took over production with composite bodies that combined features of both Ford and Willys designs.
