I want to thank everybody who has responded to my query about after
market bodies.
Here’s what I have currently:
1 GPW frame serial number GPW61615 (taken from the top left side of the
frame next to the shock mount).
The other items are on a complete jeep that has a GPW frame that is
totaled in the front. The jeep is complete, all the gauges, steering
wheel, etc are there. This is a list of the bigger components.
1 GPW engine. I don’t currently know the serial number. It supposedly
runs...
1 MB body in good/OK condition It was manufactured in Feb of 45.
(taken from the plate on the glove box. I didn’t write down the SN.)
Various parts are both MB and GPW. The glass in the windshield is Ford,
I haven’t been able to tell about the fenders, hood, seats, etc.
It also has some funny after market overdrive installed in it that you
work from a lever on the dash.
So any suggestions as to how I should proceed? What year should this
project be?
1. Sell it all and buy another project.
2. Use what I have and make a ‘Jeep Salad’.
3. Trade/sell the MB tub and get a GPW tub and use what I have.
4. Get the best after market body I can find and go from there.
5. ???
I am more than willing to trade the MB tub for a GPW tub. I live in San
Jose CA and would be willing to travel some to meet somebody 1/2 way. I
am also planning on attending the Big Bear show this year in September.
