I know that the site is incomplete. I am the one who uncompleted it.
I would rather, however, allow you to view the work-in-progress, and perhaps
provide some input as to how it develops, rather than restrict your access
until I consider it done ...
So please check out what's here, and if you feel so inclined, take a moment to share
your opinions and advice with everyone or just to let me know I'm not wasting

Satin Black VHT SP139 Early –
Pancake Only one which was “F” marked. There were 8000 AC pancake air cleaners to be used on the first contract production and at the end of the day on March 23, 1942 7937 GPW's had been built. Both figures are from Ford Archives of GPW production / contract records. Each plant should/could have run out of the pancake air cleaner at different times. The records of when the change happened at each plant may or may not ever be found.

ENGINE Ford record indicate that on 1May'42 motor # 26207 was the first
to be painted M-4084-G Grey paint. On 24Sep'42 Ford started using M-1788-H
Grey paint ( same as the 9N tractor ) on GPW engines. The records do not show
what paint was used for the GPW motors before #26207. The GP used the 9N Grey
( M-1788-H ) on the motor and this may have been carried though to the first
GPW's. Ford motor assembly records show paint # M-1788 Grey for 9N and Ford
designed 4 cyls. before GPW # 26207 and paint number M-1788-H Grey after the
24Sep'42 date for GPW and Tractor motors. ( Supplied By Tom Wolboldt ** '07) Engine Identification Images |

O/Drab VEP* Ford used the Willys Chassis (Frame). GPW stamped Willys frames have been found up to GPW 15064. This is possibly one of the last Willys frames used. If you have a later Ford Stamped W-O frame contact me. Note:- GPW 14944 has a pure Early Ford stamped frame. This may have something to do with different Ford production plants. The vehicle identification number (VIN) can be found on the left side frame rail, at the front, near the left motor mount. The number, typically, looks like *GPWxxx* but there are many variations. |

GENERATOR Download either the TM-10-1348 Ford List or SNL-G503 which is on the Main Page Generators Used on Both Ford & Willys
From Ford
documents, the Ford made generator with sealed bearings was started on June
16, '42. Prior to this date Autolite generators ( GEG-5001A and maybe
GEG-5002D ) were used. NOTE - there is no data that I have seen showing the
Autolite made generator GEG-5002D was ever used in a GPW but it may have been
so more research needs done on this point. On the second GPW contract 20,184
non Ford made generators were used before the Ford made generators started to
be used in the production of GPWs. |
Satin Black Ford or AutoLite Generator Body, front and rear plates are Satin Black
- Ford Generators - 1) GEG-5001A AutoLite (By the "book") production may have started with the GEG-5002D. Most likely AutoLite fitted with the Willys framed early GPW's 2) GEG-5002D ALL FORD GENERATORS are the 5002D style. Ford Generators ended by most Ford Assembly plants by the end of 1942/ beginning of 1943 3) GEG-5101D AutoLite as per Nabholtz
and crated engines used on the late (post 1943) GPW's |

HORN |
Sparton R2-14 UPDATED
27March 2010- Originally
I had these as NOT "F" marked, however, it has recently come to
light that as there are only two bolts of this size ( TWO (2) 1/4-28 x
5/8" bolts ) fitted to the jeep and that have been found fitted to a
Reykjavik, Iceland find jeep, it would appear that at some stage these bolts
were indeed "F" marked.
It should be noted that as these "F" marked bolts are so rare there's a posibility that these were phased out over the production of the Ford made jeeps.
Round head machine threaded bolts are Plated. Electrical contacts are Plated. Photos of an original, unrestored horn below. Late ’45 May have changed to “Short“ Sparton - BRACKET - Olive Drab -

SPARE FUEL CARRIER TB ORD-92 Mounting the 5 gallon spare fuel Carrier . Pdf File A basic identification is
as follows. |
If Fitted - Olive Drab Primed with Red Oxide 2 webbing Straps attached with brass rivets. See TB ORD-92 Pdf File GPW was FM-GPW 1140330. To my knowledge, none are so marked with a part number or "F" stamped. To be 100% certain you have a genuine WW2 spare fuel carrier you need to check some numbers, usually stamped 42-B-22590 or D66675 (Late War Drawing Number), [ Have been found on the front face, either left of right side of the front strap slot, Extra stamp on the vertical/sloped side (not as common) ], now having said that, unmarked ones are also correct, provided they follow the correct manufactured folds, tabs and indents and hole locations. Many GPWs have been found as original with non-marked brackets

If Fitted - Olive Drab with Red Oxide primer 2 webbing Straps attached with brass rivets Willys Part Numbers are A-4130 and later WO-A 4123 As for Ford, there were differences in what Willys fitted from time to time depending on supply and date.
