Morning
As a new person ( to 82s) I am trying to learn about the vehicle hence this forum
From the experience and expertise here could you tell me perhaps as a top ten of things to identify a genuine wartime manufactured Kubelwagen.
Such as identifying a wartime engine from post war
Wartime chassis and floor as opposed to post war Beetle
How to identify wartime bodywork from repro
Dash board
Axles
Any help much appreciated as I look at adverts and very difficult to judge and 70/80,000 euros for a post war chassis,body and engine is pointless
Thank you
With photos if possible -

Does anyone have an opinion who the best supplier of jeep tyres is in the UK nearest copy to original,made in UK? Good quality etc
thank you

"...........so allied armour has either peaked price wise or this is just one auction result........of course if this had been a German tank eg Panzer IV it would have been gone at around 750k!
-
It is advertised on Milweb with three Sherman hulls all priced at 75-85k !! So a complete runner with provenance from the forties must be around 150k
-
It is definitely a runner I have seen it driven at Bovington and Duxford Military days at over 25+ mph!
-
Presumably if the reserve was bottom end of estimate then 100k ensured it wasn't sold
-
Can anyone clarify what the original spec,manufacturers,and sizing was for jeep tyres,and does anyone in the UK stock similar?
Many thanks

Jumping in on this thread should a GPW have a synchro from second to first gear.I seem to have difficulties performing this without almost stopping
-
Gpws up to late 43 have F marks and Gpw stamped in a few places which helps, mbs and all gpws after 43 have the body number stamped into the toe board gusset.

Dave thank you

A simple way to determine if a ww2 Jeep has been rebuilt with a reproduction (Phillipines made) body tub, apart from they look very straight with no apparent dents anywhere, is to simply run fingers around the inside of the channel section around the Top edge of the body Sides, if it is a sharp edge ..it usually cuts fingertips too! ....its most likely a reproduction tub.
Original ww2 bodies have a double skinned channel section and relatively smooth edges with no burrs. There other differences but not so obvious if not familiar with the original body tub construction
Nick thank you

Not sure what you mean by post war replacements, do you mean reproduction ?
Pete
Pete

I have viewed a number of Jeeps however I cannot tell if the Tubs are original (WW2) or post war replacements,is there anyway to tell the difference?

I note on a number of posts people are asked what are they looking for in a Jeep,Factory or motorpool restoration.
What is the difference and what does it mean

are you saying that this is not unusual,or just perhaps he forgot at the start and added it on

I am aware that most if not all Willys Jeeps had an engine number prefixed MB######
If a Willys Jeep has an engine number ######MB (suffixed) what does this mean?
