i think this is a great thread
yes, a little slow to update,
but has supplied me with a
wealth of information about slats
in my s/n range.
your doing just fine!
ignore negative comments
from those who
would otherwise be at a total loss to find a better source!

i just purchased a jeep for parts for my 43 willys mb. i posted on the my regular forum and was told by some my new parts jeep is a slat grill willys. i was confused because it had a cj2 grill with the big chrome rings around the headlights and glass parking lights where normally i find a space for black out lights. the serial number is110479 and dod is 1-10-42. it also threw me because it had willys written on the back drivers side and it has no glove box. now i really not sure if i want to cannabalize this jeep now. its hard because i need so much for my 43 mb.

Sounds like it has a later front end on it. Don't strip it for spares, I would keep it as an early slat grill model, if the chassis and tub are in reasonable good condition.

Good Luck.

I agree with John. I'd love to see some photos of it as it's only around 200 units older than mine.
