WILLYS- rear panel

Post by Charlie S. » Tue Aug 02, 2016 2:05 pm

Hi,
a good friend is restoring the Slat #115466 with DOD 2-2-42.
He is looking for the stamped rear panel WILLYS.
Some years ago I bought one for my Slat in the USA, for this reason we are asking here.
Someone has one for sell or know about where could I find one ?
Tks in advance for your help
Cheers.

Best one I've seen comes from overseas. But there are two suppliers in the us for those. West coast is Janes's Jeep I believe. And east coast get ahold of Dave Welch here on the forum.

Charlie, they do them over here in England, they are absolutely spot on. The company that do them is JEEPARTS UK. Shipping is not a problem, they do worldwide. they cost £95, thats about $135, not sure about shipping costs though, hope this post helps, Mark.

Hi Mark,
thanks for your message.
As I mentioned before, I´m looking the "WILLYS" word only, not the full rear panel.
Shipment and import duties would be very expensive to my country.
I already asked JEEPARTS if could be possible buy only "WILLYS".
Cheers,

Charlie...

Jay (chasendeer) and David Welch are distributors of the product from the UK....you should contact the UK mfger and ask them to just stamp you our a 120mm by 250mm section with the "WILLYS" stamped into it as that will save on the shipping for you.

However....if you can wait until I can look around here, I think I might have one exactly that size for you!!!!!
