Jessie The Jeep Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) While reviewing my M201/MB differences page, I had a closer look at the glovebox on my M201. It appears to be the Ford type, with the two swaged ridges on the glovebox floor. Were these ridges standard on the M201 Jeeps, or did the French army rebuild my Jeep in 1966 with a Ford glovebox? I haven't had a chance to look around other M201's to compare. Edited September 5, 2020 by Jessie The Jeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 I've had a friend confirm that his Hotchkiss M201 also has a Ford style glovebox floor. Anyone else had a look to see what theirs has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian McC Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi Steve - both ridges on mine too so looks like it's standard. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Well so far, it's only 3 out of some 30,000 Hotchkisses, but perhaps Hotchkiss ended up with an example of the ACM Type body to copy, or that's the tooling/drawings they got to work from? I'll keep looking, but it's an interesting start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
