★ Reproduction to original Ford GPW specifications with the characteristic 'F' script marking that Ford used to identify their components during WWII production.
Application
Intended for late production Ford GPW vehicles fitted with 8 leaf (front axle) and 9 leaf (rear axle) spring configuration. The F marking indicates Ford production and distinguishes these components from Willys MB equivalents.
Installation notes
Note: the U-bolts are used in combination with spring clamps and must be tightened to correct torque specifications. Always use new U-bolts when replacing — reuse of old bolts is not recommended due to possible stretching or material fatigue.
Compatibility
Specific for late Ford GPW production with 8 and 9 leaf springs. Not compatible with early production which used different spring configurations. Whilst Ford GPW and Willys MB are mechanically interchangeable, the F marking differs from Willys equivalents.
Historical context
Ford produced over 277,000 GPW jeeps during WWII under Willys licence. To identify their production, Ford marked many components with a characteristic script 'F' marking — a detail highly valued today by collectors and restorers.
