GPW 16046

Postby leepotter » Sat Aug 18, 2012 3:50 pm

Just bought this guy. Some one put a CJ data plate on the glove box. For the life of me I cant see the Stamping on the frame. Title says 6302 and from the characteristics i'd say it might be correct. Not original drive line. They didnt move the crossmember to fit the t90 but the added on to the motor mounts. Thoughts on this? Link to


Found GPW 16046 Stamping on Motor Mount.

Check on the mount with a wire brush...

On a side note i'm probably gonna be turning right around and selling this if anyone was wondering. I just bought it so it didn't sit under a tarp for the rest of its life.

Hi Lee,

My first jeep was GPW 16037, delivered April 16, 1942. I can't remember now if the serial number was stamped on the motor mount.... maybe... Jon S.

Just saw this on eBay...seems like it would be a nice project for someone and the price isn't too bad, so far. Much better than my first jeep ('43 GPW).
