I have a
1943 GPW
DOD 3-30-43
ser. # 105568
"hood number" of 20369126 (I ran the serial number & DOD number through the web site
www.g503.com & it gave me this "hood number")
Now heres the "Rest of the story"
Grandfather bought it in 1968 from a guy who said he found it in a vehicle dump in the Yukon. Year of find I don't know.
My dad got it in 1973 & ground off all coats of paint so don't know if CDN or US marked hood.
Dash plates are US.
I got it in 1983 & as a dummy, pulled the original engine & steering & replaced them with a Chev Saginaw steering box, Pinto 2.0L engine, T-90 trans.
I have the original trans/trans case & most major original components.
Don't know if it was a US issue for the Hwy, or a CDN issue for the Hwy?
Or the guy my grandfather bought it from has FOS!
Any ideas?
