WW2???? jeep skid plate

[rustyaustinchamp]

I am currently restoring a 1942 GPW and the photos attached are of the skid plate that came with the vehicle.

Is this a T84 skid plate or perhaps a T90 plate that has been adapted (there are 2 sets of attachment holes for the coach bolts, the more ragged set of holes line up with my T84 crossmember holes but the neat ones do not).

 

Someone on here will know!

Thanks

From your photo it certainly looks like a war time skid plate one piece with side rail tab part No A1253 replacing the two section plate A5415 + A1253. The machine cut bolt holes are correct the extra ones would seem to have been added for some reason, the small piece of angle iron is also an add on for some reason.

Thanks for your help Pete, at least that's one more item I don't have to buy!
