Installation notes
The bracket is mounted on the rear spring hanger with the U-bolts (clips). The pin of the bracket extends through the bracket and is secured with a washer and split pin. The shock absorber mounts on this pin. Note: CJ spring hanger brackets have a different bolt spacing than MB/GPW and are not interchangeable.
Compatibility
Ford GPW brackets are recognisable by their pressed, rectangular construction and F-script marking. Willys MB used a similar design but without F-marking. Do not use on later CJ models — these have a wider bolt spacing on the spring hanger bracket.
Historical context
Ford produced during WWII approximately 277,878 GPW jeeps under licence from Willys-Overland. Ford marked many of their specific parts with the characteristic cursive 'F'-script, including brackets, body components and even shims in the gearbox. These markings help identify original Ford GPW components.
