Installation notes
Mounted on the glove box door with rivets. The data plate is mounted from the front and the rivets are flattened at the rear. Ford generally used steel rivets without brass coating during the mid-war period.
Compatibility
Suitable for Ford GPW from the mid-war production period (approximately mid-1942 to mid-1944). Early GPWs had brass data plates, late production used aluminium. Please ensure correct material choice for your specific year of manufacture.
Historical context
Ford produced the GPW in six different factories during WWII, each with slightly different stamping styles. The zinc-plated steel data plate was characteristic of the mid-war production period, when material shortages led to the transition from brass to steel.
