Jeep42.net Website — Some Great Pics

I believe the author of this bilingual (french/spanish) site (jeep42.net) about a 1942 MB is from Europe, though I didn’t get a sense of exactly where they were located.  Neither my French nor my Spanish will save me in an emergency, let alone let me navigate a site about jeeps.

Fortunately, the excellent pictures make the site worth visiting even for the most linguistically challenged of us.  I especially liked the pic below (there are other pics that provide similar comprehensive views of parts).  If anyone knows who operates the site, I’d gladly add their name here so i can properly credit them.

1942_mb_spokaneI’m really not sure if this is a GPW or an MB.  The writing left me confused.  It looks nice.  I think extending that bottom indent across the bottom of the body is an unusual feature (no doubt, part of a body fix). It appears well put together.

“a very FAST 1942 ford jeep , correct a MB1 WWII flat fendered hard to find fast 4×4 for mud bogging trpohies buy this one , 350 chev crate motor ( fender well headers )with only 12,000 miles on it , backed with SUPER T-10 4 SPD also fresh , custom work and a full cage and full canvas with doors , the chassie has lots of upgrades to brakes and hd drive lines n more , am listing for RAY , a friend sooo no need to email me , ya gott a call him spk # 509-484-2265 please no late pm calls , a titled and tabbed FAST tr0phie winner 4 sure”

1946_mb_fairoaksUPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000

Based on the pics from craigslist and eBay, this is an MB body and grille.  I would hazard a guess that the rest of this is an MB as well.

“i have a 46 willys jeep it has a corvette 283 hi low transfer case i was going to rebild it but i lost my job have to move cant take it with me have all part for some one to bild it make me a good offer or a good trade . call me no email thanks”

UPDATE:  The price hasn’t changed, but the year has gone up to 1943.

Looks like a fixer upper.  This jeep appears to have gone through some updates, some better than others.  Might be worth a look to see what’s really there.

“1943 Willys MB. Has SB Chevy & 4 Spd. Runs but needs tlc. $600 OBO. (541)936-1715 Hans ”

Builds – Edgar Nave’s “zooped” up MB

edgar_mb_europeYeah, I know, the “zooped” part is a stretch, but the site has some cool WWII pics.  It appears the pages related to Edgar are part of a ‘Nave’ family album.  The part of the story I like is that fact that Edgar drove a jeep as a courier and personnel transport later in the war effort in France. His jeep was fixed up with an aluminum housing and a manifold heater, and he says it could outrun any jeep in the outfit. It was quite popular with officers who wanted transportation. They wouldn’t let the jeep go unless he went with it so he got to take a good many trips.  There’s some interesting pictures of stuff found laying  around France (shot down planes for example).

Now, I’m not sure exactly how those features made the jeep faster, if they did, but it’s a good story 🙂

Here’s the link to the Edgar Nave Pics

1945_mb_bendUPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

“Rare 1945 Military Willys Jeep MB and M416  1/4T trailer built by Cemsco Div of ETS Hokin. The Jeep was built 1-30-1945 and delivered to the Navy, likely for California shore duty. It is very complete, with folding headlamps, blackout lights, hand grips and more. There is no structural or panel rust. The only rust is superficial. Good floors. A light sandblast would clean it all up. No panels need to be replaced. All are intact. No body damage. The vehicle is in original, unrestored condition. The only modifications are at the front bumper for the tow bar. I have had the engine running, and it all seems good. The brake cylinders are frozen…so it would need a full brake job, but after that, I would bet it could be driven as is….a bit of a time warp there.

There are (5) five restored wheels, powdercoated, with new military tires. There is no top or top bows, but all the mounting brackets are intact. There are miscellaneous extras, such as a windshield assembly, a cylinder head, flywheel and more.”

Locating the F script on your GPW

So, you think you have a GPW, but you have no idea where to find that F script?

You are in luck!  Ren Bernier has posted numerous images of how the F-script appears across all kinds of parts.  This is the first that I have run across a collection of F-script images so extensive.  It’s a great resource to bookmark.  He also has a variety of images from MB restorations as well.
