** High Priority **

I have a HMMWV hood and a '43 Ford GPW body tub for sale.

The hood has a couple of small cracks next to the radiator opening.
They are easily repairable. It is the shell only, no hardware. $50.00

The Ford GPW body tub came off of my '43 GPW. It is very rough. As is
so typical of the old jeeps, the floors are rusted out, however, the side
panels on both sides have been cut out and replaced from the post
under the dash to just about even with the back of the driver and
passenger's seat. It is a very good and neat installation. The biggest
problem is with the indentations for the axe and shovel on the driver's
side. Unfortunately, the man that put the metal on did not make
allowances for these. Also, the glove box interior has been cut out and
replaced. Only because spare original bodies are practically
non-existent and reproduction bodies are very expensive and also
becoming much hard to get, did this body tub not go to the junk yard.
Someone with the time and expertise could restore this body. $350.
