Acquired this 44 GPW from a friend for free as a “basket case” jeep. Before heading to college I did a quick restore and assembly (see resulting picture) I am currently approaching the end of a frame-up restoration that started in Nov of 2010. |
Notes/Comments: |
Acquired this 44 GPW from a friend for free as a “basket case” jeep. Before heading to college I did a quick restore and assembly (the picture presented is after this initial restoration and assembly) mainly a quick cleaning and paint job to be able to play with it before it was put into storage. I recently have disassembled it (Starting in Nov 2010) and am nearing the end of a frame-up restoration. The body, from my research is a ACM II Body. The engine is not original. The hood number is estimated as no numbers were found during restoration. The new bumper numbers will be 5(armored division triangle symbol)-95F SV-4. |
