Ford GPW restoration


Recommended Posts

Looks like an ex British jeep. What year? Good project, how are/were the floors?

 

IN March of 2001 I wrote to Wally Duggan at the Museum of Army Transport and the info. he supplied is as follows, M no. M5845220, post WWII 53 YH 35 sold out of service at Bicester auctions 15 Oct. 1957, lot 850. Jeep manufactured January 1945 as soon as I can get my wife to take the pictures from the album and put them into the computer I can bore you to death with restoration pics. The person I bought the jeep from also had a comprehensive collection of bills from ,1963 onwards. These may be of interest because of the prices charged by the various suppliers, Metamet, Tillies of Dorchester, Swaffield tyre service of Bristol, Universal Car Distributors (London) Ltd. Metcalfe"s of Leyburn

a lso early test certificates.

I have no idea what that means either. You could try a hosting site like photo bucket or similar.

 

being a late production ford, and having seen little use (at least time wise), did it/does it still have its original engine and drive train?

This is one of the invoices from metamet dated 12 2 65 showing that the owner had an exchange engine. John.
