GPW 92098
Brought to California from Arizona. It was bright yellow with typical civilianization when purchased, but mostly complete and rust free. Under the yellow paint was forest service green/aqua paint with a red stripe in it's side, maybe it was used by the forestry/fire service? The original Registration number (20201078)was found under the layers of paint, in blue drab. The main data plate is steel, the other 2 plates are brass, all are original. The rear body panel had been heavily damaged and bondo'd so I have replaced it. It had a no serial # GPW engine, but it cracked very badly after a couple years of service. I rebuilt the current MB engine and it runs very well.
