Hi,

I have GPW 19168, or at least the chassis for it. Body is gone, all that is left is the frame, axles, transmission, and a late 45 MB engine. From what I understand, its a Mid April 42 from the Louisville plant. Maybe you can add this to your records.

Thanks and have a great day!

Hi,

Sounds like you got a great GPW. A photo of the data plate should help to tell the assembly plant and come up with a very close hood number to the original.

Hi,

I am the lucky owner of a VEP GPW 6088 3-17-42 original brass data plate , matching engine and chassis number , all is there including a rare original windshield frame "f " marked
restoration of this Jeep has been done with a lot of care

Maybe you can add this to your records.

Thanks and have a great day!

Hello Jean,

Can you post or email to me a photo of GPW 6088's data plate. I believe the small box above the serial number should either have 1/4-T or 6088 stamped in the box. If it is either one of these than your GPW was accepted on the second day of assembly at one of two assembly plants. It should be no problem estimating a very close hood number if your GPW's hood number is unknown.

GPW 2647 DOD 2-26-42 owned by Leo Jankowski, Milwaukee, Wi.

By the way GPW 12102 had a hood number of 2066889. Seems a bit out of sequence but that's what was on the hood when I found it. I sold the jeep years ago to a guy in Florida with the hood number painted on it but never knew what happened to it after I sold it. Any of you Florida folk ever see this unit running around?
