Default parts for 43 GPW restoration

Wanted : '43 GPW parts

Gents,

I'm just getting back into the hobby.. starting over or sorts. I've just acquired a 43 GPW project that I plan to put through a full restoration. (picture below). I'm located in Kingston ON, and looking for 'F' stamped parts (preferably original used or NOS).

Please take a look at the pics and tell me your thoughts as well as what I'll need.. aside from mechanical, cosmetically I will need:

- 5 combat rims
- both front seats
- rear seat
- front bumper and top bumper bracket.
- both rear bumperettes
- Jerry can holder
- spare tire holder
- fender mounted blackout light

I'm hoping the MLU community in Ontario can help me get these parts.
cheers!

In pretty good shape for it’s age. I should be so lucky!

What do the data plates have to say?

Great start! Looks nice and straight and been looked after - love the pin-striping. Looks like many of the external parts have been removed rather than torn off through use, too - a real bonus.

Lots of things you will need in addition to your list (ie horn, pintle hook, hood bow, wipers, dash lamps, etc), so if you run out of NOS/original options, try Joe's Motor Pool - excellent quality repro parts, or MV Spares. There are other sources, of course, but you'll find many of them stock parts from either of these two sources.

Mike

Join the MVPA (if you are not already), crack open the latest edition of Supply Line and you could order up everything from the vendors in a couple phone calls and emails. Nice looking GPW and look forward to seeing its progress back to fighting trim.

Default Gpw items

I will look to see what Jim has in his collection to see what has Ford on it. I know he has most of the ww2 jeep items you are looking for.

Don't think the Gpw rims had f, were generic combat rims

Will take a look.

My email is cmpmagazine at hotmail.com

Eric

Hello

I looked up your SN on my list and there is nothing in my file.

Do you know if this vehicle come out of the USA post war?

If you are looking for some of the missing parts please e-mail me.

Thanks
Eric

Hi Eric,

The date of delivery is April, 26, 1943. I am pretty sure it is a Jeep used by the Americans during the war.

The serial number is 111153, DOD 4-26-43
