GPW 34870

MB engine, stenciled inside tub over left rear wheel well "CAMP CHAFFEE WDSB 9-2". When purchased had 4 combat wheels and was missing windshield frame, front bumper, top/bows and had rear of tub cut out like a CJ tailgate. With all apologies and respect to Bill Mauldin, picture was taken by my friend B. Mitchell Carlson in 1998. I'm using his GI Remington-Rand .45 as my Para-Ordnance P-14 is way too new.
