Application
Specifically for early 1942 production vehicles without jerrycan bracket on the body. The 6-strap version fits early Willys MB and Ford GPW jeeps built before the introduction of the jerrycan mounting.
Installation notes
Requires original or reproduction bow set and mounting hardware. The six canvas straps are secured over the bows without cut-out for jerrycan. Please verify that your vehicle has the correct early configuration before ordering.
Compatibility
NOT compatible with later jeeps with jerrycan bracket — for these, the standard 5-strap version with jerrycan cut-out is required. Fits ONLY early 1942 vehicles without jerrycan mounting.
Historical context
The early WWII jeeps from 1942 did not yet have a standardised jerrycan bracket on the body, which resulted in a 6-strap canvas top. After the introduction of the jerrycan mounting, the 5-strap version with cut-out became the standard.
