Application
Ford GPW 1941-1943 (early production with 2-bolt spare tyre carrier). Not compatible with late GPW (1944-1945) which used the 3-bolt configuration.
Installation notes
Installation requires support bracket (A-11701) and retaining plate (A-2359-1). The 2-bolt type is specific to early GPW — verify that your vehicle has the correct mounting holes before ordering.
Compatibility
ONLY for early Ford GPW 1941-1943 with 2-bolt pattern. From 1944 onwards, production changed to 3-bolt configuration (A-2359B) with different mounting pattern (7.5" vertical x 7" horizontal). Not interchangeable between early and late type.
Historical context
Ford produced approximately 277,000 GPW jeeps from 1941 to 1945. Early production (1941-1943) was characterised by the 2-bolt spare tyre carrier, later replaced by a reinforced 3-bolt version.
