Application
Ford GP early production jeep (1941) and Dodge WC series vehicles (WC51, WC52, WC54, etc.). The fire extinguisher was typically mounted on the driver's side at the front of the cargo bed or in the cab.
Installation notes
Check whether the original mounting holes are present in the kickpanel or cargo bed wall. On some vehicles these holes may be absent and need to be drilled first in accordance with original specifications.
Compatibility
Designed for use with brass Carbon Tetrachloride fire extinguishers of 1 quart as standard during WWII. Note: early Ford GP and late Ford GPW had different bracket designs — GPW-17102 type has captive nuts specific to Ford GPW/GPA. For Dodge WC a similar but not identical design was used.
Historical context
Fire extinguishers were standard safety equipment on WWII military vehicles. The brass CTG fire extinguishers were mounted in OD-painted metal brackets to keep them in place during rough terrain use.
