“This is a 1942 Ford GPW
Mostly original
Many F-stamped bolts
Ford script body
F-stamped transmission transfer case and head with a civilian block.
Runs, drives, and stops
Springs sag, wiring not good, body not perfect.
Bought from the Dragon Man with the intention of rebuilding it.
I fixed the tranny – got it running and started driving it.
However, my neighbor, who is a big time antique hoarder, urges me to stop working on it. “First rule when obtaining a collectable antique is you don’t touch, don’t paint it, nothing. It will ruin it. Even if somebody did something to it incorrectly before you.”
So I am doing my duty to my country by offering this up to any so called collector.

I am open to good offers! Otherwise, I can go back to the only part of the house I can somewhat think of as mine… where my hammer, saw, and torch are ready to get back to work and I’ll have a clear conscious that at least I tried to do the right thing.”

“1945 Ford MB GPW. Originally a Navy Sea Bee Jeep. Near new exterior paint. Chassis upgrade with 302 Ford V8, 4-speed transmission, 1980 front and rear differentials, Transfer case with upgraded Advanced Adapter heavy duty rear output housing. Front Disc Brakes, power steering. 302 Engine was professionally rebuilt and is balanced. New Holley 2-barrel carburetor with manual choke. Mallory Unilite Ignition with high voltage coil.

Zach spotted this great, funky jeep. Listed as a 1952, it appears to be a GPW based on the front crossmember. Given it runs, it looks like a great price.

“I have two WW2 Ford GPW Jeep projects for sale.

1. 1943 Ford GPW rolling chassis and body. Frame will need repairs, body very rough. Frame number and body number match. No engine or trans included, however I have non working F script trans and transfer I will include at additional cost. This would be a good candidate for a replacement body. Clear Idaho title in my name. $1000.

2. 1945 Ford GPW restored chassis and replacement body, including front fenders. Includes F script transmission and bell housing. This has been a running Jeep.

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB), M-38, MB This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Listed as a 1943, it has rear floaters, but also has an MB/GPW body. The grille tilts, but the hinges are reversed. I suspect it’s an M-38 body on a WWII chassis.

According to the data plates it was born on November 10th, 1942. Serial number 80041, which most likely puts it out of the ford plant in Richmond, Ca.”
