GPW 44272
The nearest I could get to the right hood number is between 20125425 and 20125520. I have picked 20125426 for several reasons, 1) the 4 represents the month I bought her, 2) 26 is the year that both my Dad and the gentleman that I bought it from where born. What a way to remember them both. I will be marking the bumpers and bumperetts with 20*313 509. (20th AF 313 Bomber Wing, 509th Composite Group). Though I think they where driving WILLYS MB's. She has a CJ2 engine in her right now but hope to put a GPW one in soon.
