Application
Suitable for Ford GPW jeeps produced from 1941 to 1945. Two housings required per vehicle (left and right). Fits onto the original headlight support brackets attached to the wings.
Installation notes
The housing mounts onto the headlight support bracket using the supplied special bolt and clip. The earth lead must be correctly positioned for proper electrical connection. For modern 6" sealed beam headlamps, slight adjustment of the aperture may be required.
Compatibility
Please note: This housing is specific to the small MB/GPW headlamps (5¾"). NOT compatible with CJ-2A and later civilian jeeps using 7" headlamps. The Ford GPW housing is technically identical to the Willys MB variant (WOA-5586), parts are interchangeable.
Historical context
Ford produced approximately 280,000 GPW jeeps from 1942 to 1945 according to Willys specifications, using part number GPW-13012 for the headlight housing. The characteristic small headlamps behind the 9-slat grille distinguished the military MB/GPW from later civilian models.
