Shock absorber

Post by Barnii » Sun Dec 28, 2014 2:53 am

Hello,
I have two shock absorbers Gabriel P 600. Shock absorbers are painted OD, but I do not know whether it is the color of the original. Can you advise me whether these shock absorbers have been fitted to the Ford GPW or Willys MB WWII?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Those are Front Shock Absorbers for the M-170 Ambulance. They will work just fine on the rear of the MB/GPW.
917305 is the Jeep Factory Part Number for M-170 Front Shock Absorber, and 83338289 is the ORD. Number for same.
