I am looking to purchase my first military vehicle and I just drove 100
miles to look at a 43 MB that owner told me was in great military
condition. He had supposedly traced it back to Germany and unit it was
assigned to.... When I got there I found what had at one time been a 43
Willy's. Now it had a chevy V-8 motor, bucket seats, no wind shield, or
bows, brackets welded onto the body, jacked up with large mud tires and was
beat up really bad. It was military to him because it was painted a shade
of OD green.
Next time I know to ask more detailed questions.
Live and learn...but Andy LaBorde was right, what if it had been a near
mint 43. I can hope...Jim Hensley
