Just purchased GPW 39925 and was going to use the frame for GPW12375 ( has some bad spots) but the previous owner did a lot work on it, (sadly he past away) he rebuilt trans. @ transfer, brakes, great 10 leaf springs, torque spring, even has emergency brake mechanism, which surprises me, only draw back it has post war engine, but even that was rebuilt by machine shop and never started (turns over fine), so I'm going to start on it intead of 12375 (although 12375 has more original equip on it, lots of "f" parts). Located in Alice Texas, South of San Antonio.

Ford GPW 14852. DoD 4-3-42. It came with Block No. MB316395, but was cracked and has been replaced. Where do I find hood or frame numbers?

Not quite a VEP, but my 1942 Script tub GPW is frame serial number 30988. It was part of the F2 (second contract) and is currently undergoing a full frame off restoration. Unfortunately, all three data plates were missing from the glove box...so I have no idea of the DOD...but I guess it to be about May/June 42. Perhaps Tom will be kind enough to help with this missing data? His intel is priceless! The tub does have the rib behind each tool box on top of the wheel houses. I hope to eventually figure a close DOD, hood/rear number and to figure which plant she came from. This is a great forum...thanks to all!!!

Hello Wessels,

A clear photo of the complete frame serial number stamping will be needed to answer your questions.
