I purchased this jeep from my friend Chuck Lutz (RIP).
A complete April '43 GPW. Frame serial number and engine match. The tub was a donor from a late ‘42 GPW I believe and is one of the nicest unrestored tubs I have seen. This GPW will compliment my March 1943 GPW and will be restored back to as close to Factory Class as I can.
Information supplied by Jim Gilmore from Ford Archives: Engine: Assembled at Rouge Motor Building, March 30, 1943. Hood Number: 20371278 Estimated DOD: April 17, 1943 (missing data plate). Tires: Synthetic. Shipped April 21, 1943 by Pennsylvania Railroad Shipping invoice # C-136613. Box Car # 81654. I have a proper Dec. '42 tub and almost all the parts gathered for the restoration. This will be very close to the Factory Class if possible.
