GPW 246176
Obtained as a parts jeep for GPW 105307, but further investigation revealed too many original features and matching numbers to ignore. It runs very well and has seen an engine rebuild at one time. Was used with a Meyers plow that caused the oil filter to be moved to the other side of the motor. Rebuild scheduled for next year or later. Until then parts will be "borrowed" for my other jeep. All information was obtained from the original data plates. Hood numbers in large white stenciled numbers exist but have not been uncovered and translated yet.
