My Ford GPW 1/4 ton jeep

If you look at the back of the jeep where the pintle hitch should be,you will notice the pintle hitch and the piece of frame it was bolted to is gone! It might as well been used to pull stumps.These poor old jeeps tried to live up to the reputation that they were given as indestructible and could go through anything and so they were abused until their reputation was proven wrong!The story goes the previous owner before Jack had the jeep stuck in a bog and tried to pull it out with a skidder and ripped out the hitch and frame! I asked Jack if he still had the hitch but it was gone when he bought the jeep.That is when I asked if he had any other pieces left and I pointed to where the bumpers would have been bolted on and he said no you don't want them,they are too flimsy,you want to make your own out of something heavier.That is when we went looking in his back yard for them and I spotted one in the grass and weeds so in pulling the bumper out of the grass pile it latched onto the second one and out they both came.They are both F marked and saved me looking for 2 items.It never hurts to ask!
