Is there casting numbers visible on passenger side of block?

very nice.. chart holder under hood., decal on filter housing. 

looks like wiper arm linkage in the pile of stuff.  Radio junction box I believe. Later Jeeps had them. Look at the back of the transmission hump.  is there any brackets or plates there?

If I'm reading data plates correctly.....

Serial 432030

DOD  4/3/45   I believe April 3/45.  Could be original motor.  Parts came in by rail car so they just grabbed which ever one came off first.

1945 MB  should be ACM 2 body.  look on toe board gusset on driver side. should be stamped on the side.

https://g503.com/oldsite/serial-numbers/view.php?record_id=2006  Serial number 431759.with WD number

These are all from the old G503 serial number datatbase.

Sorry..  Got bored Did some digging.

Also..  plate beside glove box..  Is there any holes behind it or is it just hiding where bubba hid his jukebox?

Probably been told this already...  be careful stripping it down.  quite possible numbers on hood, windshield, bumpers, and back panel.  They could be under all that paint...

Team G503 on youtube has excellent videos.  He is partnered with US supplier RFJP.

If you dont mind sharing your serial number, DOD etc.

I don't know if this helps much but Landrovers Series IIa were issued under contract WV 7477 (Marines) for 92 vehcles and WV7478 (Army) for 100 vehicles (Source: Land Rover: 65 Years of the 4 x 4 Workhorse)

Only ONE...

so far....

1942 Willys MB

Canadian ( I guess some will argue Commonwealth)

I have a CDLV 505 contract Willys and am trying to figure out hood and WD numbers.

I have heard about the Chilwells List. If anybody has a copy and can check out if they can find my MB by serial number ( or one relatively close) it would be greatly appreciated. I am at a loss.

I am trying to figure out mine. Details as follows:

Serial 155562

engine 160432

tub 59041

DOD 7/7/42

Contract CDLV 505

WLU 440 M PERS 1

I BELIEVE MINE DID NOT GO OVERSEAS. However a CM****** or 43-*** near my serial number on the 505 contract would suffice.

Thank you in advance.

Earlier it was mentioned of a list (Chilwell's) of WD or hood numbers.
