Re: Slat Grill TAIL Lights Bracket question
I think that I have to be (vertically) type early bracket.
But I see this chart...and I start to doubt

Re: Slat Grill TAIL Lights Bracket question
This chart is correct. All Willys MB's have HORIZONTAL Tail light brackets. From the start of production in 1941 to the end in 1945 Willys only used ACM tubs that had horizontal brackets.. GPW's used Ford tubs that all ways had vertical brackets until about September of 43 when they started using ACM tubs that had horizontal brackets.

I do not think that is correct. My Dec 41 slat with body # 10405 has VERTICAL tail light brackets.

Re: Slat Grill TAIL Lights Bracket question
Well if we have 2 slats with vertical brackets maybe they were different. I have always gone by this chart. Hopefully some one with more knowledge on slats than I will chime in.

Re: Slat Grill TAIL Lights Bracket question
This is not correct, early MB's had them vertical (like Ford) but I don't know exactly when the change to horizontal occurred. The repro MD Juan slatgrill backpanels are incorrect in having horizontal brackets.rjbeamer wrote: ↑Tue Aug 22, 2017 6:01 pmThis chart is correct. All Willys MB's have HORIZONTAL Tail light brackets.

Wait for a few guys that have a d.o.d. near you to respond. If someone has vertical brackets on a later jeep you'll know for sure.

Re: Slat Grill TAIL Lights Bracket question
Army Jeep Parts send me a pair of vertical tail brackets to replace the others.
So soon will be welded to the body
