    I can provide the following information on this GPW.

The motor, GPW 44620, was built on June 29, 1942 at the Rouge Motor Building.

   The USA# 2013034? indicates this GPW was assembled at the Ford Chester
branch plant. It was built in the third 15,000 of Contract W-398-qm-11424,
Ford order index number 42-176.

   There should be eight digits in the USA #.

   Hope this helps,

   Jim
