Re: What color is your steering wheel
Hello,
Welcome to the great G503 Joe T !!!
My 1942 GPW has a green Sheller steering wheel.
Here is some additional GPW data for those that may be looking :
Brass Data Plates
GPW 54158
DOD 8-6-42
Gross Weight 2265
Marked 1/4 T
(manual info) : 1348, 1349
USA Number in original Blue Drab on hood
20135931
Name over wheel wells
"Red-Rose"
Also has star on left rear panel , and stars on each side of jeep .
Jeep also has small white squares painted on it, with a green, (not od), cross intersecting it, on both sides of jeep, on side panel above exterior foot rests.
I am doing a "preservation" restoration on this jeep, touching up the markings where damaged.
I have uncovered all these markings using a bush button razor scraper blade.
Best Regards,
Ray
