AmmoMan Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Just spotted YXS885 that's for sale on eBay, it's a 3yr old restoration but I have not seen a GPW frame stamp like that, would I be right in thinking it's a totally new chassis and re-stamped to match the log book ?

Nick Johns Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 the chassis number looks to be correct, expand the picture and the number starts GPW, it should be prefixed with a star symbol which is hidden under the wing panel mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmmoMan Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 Yes the GPW serial number looks correct but I mean the stamping, format, raised edges etc, compare with this one which looks like all the other genuine rail stamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Often Jeeps that underwent full rebuilds by the military were re -stamped with a new chassis number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
