GPW 110647

My father bought this jeep in 1977, the same year I was born. G503 jeeps were imported by Argentinian government after WWII. In 2003 with enough bugs to start a good restoration I started doing the job. I have collected tons of information here at G503.com from good guys that help me every day. The GPW has a Willys Slat Grill engine but I am planning to change it by a Ford one. A couple of years ago I changed its gear box to T90 (civilian model) since I couldn't find a T84 in good conditions. Most of the parts and accesories are original except for the top bow that are repros. F marks everywhere. This restoration will be the last one I hope. We used the jeep as a 4WD vehicle at the beach. Rust really hurted all its body and we needed to do a huge tub resto. Some missing parts will be made from JonĀ“s Rogers drawings other will be brought from the US. I am planning to design a new web page to show you the restoration process and final work.
