gpwjoe Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Could anyone tell me what year, or even better month, the dip was incorperated into the top of a jeeps grill? Unless im mistaken, earlier jeep grills dont have this dip. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 According to John Farleys "The standardised war time Jeep" the pressed grille, a Ford design, superseded the slat grill and was introduced in March '42 without dip, he refers to the dip as being introduced later, the only reference is a picture of a Willys of May '42 production that has the dip. Perhaps a question for the rivet counters on G503.com forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzaw Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Pardon my ignorance but what dip are we talking about and where can it be found/seen on a grille? Gazza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Pardon my ignorance but what dip are we talking about and where can it be found/seen on a grille? Gazza In the centre of the top flange of a jeep grille there is a small half round "dip" clearly seen when the bonnet is open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPWdriver Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 My grille doesn't have the dip either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
