Hi guys,

I have the same F on the steering tube of GPW 11730, but there isnt one on the tube of GPW 225290 which was a very original complete vehicle with all F marked steering gear except the tube (including sector shaft and a little block F on the horn ring!), but that doesnt mean it wasnt replaced for some reason.

I havent ever seen a F on the carb return spring tab, any chance of a pic? I have seen the repro's, but never an original!

Cheers,
Ian.

Thanks for the reply,, are you in the states,,
my gpw D,O,D 19 may 42 28041 came from texas,,tomb stone blackout G, etc, script tub ,flat glove box i dont think
the body has ever been off , correct body to chassey pads , rubber stringy things and bolts and nuts with those funny
lock washer nut things , forgot whot they are called,, even a ants nest made of like a sand type of stuff up on top of
glove box inside inner fire wall,lots of nice origanall parts still on him ,, i will try and post a picture of carb spring pull
off brk this wk end if not during the week for you to see, it is a nice small (like on steering tube)f script ime amazed
that ford stamped things like this,and all so amazed that i have become an f script anorrack? is this whot happens
normally after buying one of these old timers,,ime begining to feel worried,, i had a life before ? but have allways
been a sucker for old Fords, hence my pass word ,,ford3000gt (capri) that was the U,K,s mustang,a mighty fine
car of late 60s eary 70s, why dont they make em like that now beats me ,,any way thats enough of that old c_ _ p
will post a pic as soon as i can work out how to ,,ive sent pics ok by email adress ,perhaps if you let me have yours
can send that way if doesent work on G503 ok,all the best

Hi all,
Sorry to go 'off piste' subject but here is Ian's request;

and here is another of a scripted 'D' washer securing distrbutor;

You need to look carefully!
These are on a Dec 44 GPW which has not been on the road since 1973 and garaged since.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for that! Any chance of some more pics of this jeep being posted down in the unrestored forum? You have gotten us excited when you said this:
