Application
Exclusively for early Willys MB with slat grille, serial numbers MB 100001 through MB 125809 (18 November 1941 to 6 March 1942). Does NOT fit later MBs with stamped grille or Ford GPW.
Installation notes
Check that the mounting holes match your bonnet and hinges. Adjustment may be required depending on your vehicle's build period. Panel requires welding or riveting to the bonnet structure depending on original configuration.
Compatibility
ONLY for early slat grille MB. NOT compatible with later stamped grille MB (after March 1942), Ford GPW, or civilian CJ-2A models. Early slat grille vehicles had specific bonnet and hinge details that differed from later production.
Historical context
The first 25,808 Willys MBs were built with a welded slat grille instead of the later stamped grille. These early vehicles had numerous unique features, including different bonnet details, shorter windscreen (on the very first examples), and 'WILLYS' stamped in the rear panel.
