Bubba did not like the tool indents, so he covered them with sheet metal.

Good find, this must be getting close to being one of the last GPW's built.

This is close to mine date wise

my chassis number is 272270 and is 15th june '45. Should put this one about 15 days later maybe? (around june 25th/ 27th at a guess)

Love the roof! Why does it seem the majority of this era jeeps go overseas?

I would venture that because the industrial base of many countries was destroyed and also that the US was an occupier and police force that a fair amount of late production jeeps went overseas. My jeep was supposed to be shipped the Russia in 1942 but I suspect it never left the US and was probably used on local base.
