Hey All,
I'm a new member of this forum and I'm doing a full restoration of a 1962 Hotchkiss M201 of the french army. This week I started on the front and rear axle and the first thing I saw was that my rear axle is from a Willys MB (M) and my front axle is from a Ford GPW (GP). I'm looking for someone to trade these two axles for two Hotchkiss axles (WOF). If this turns out to be a tough find then I'd like to find someone to trade the front axle for a Willys MB (M). I'm trying to get the m201 as factory correct as I can.
Some extra info: I live in Belgium.
Thanks,
Timothy

Hi Timothy,
I am the owner of a 1962 M201 as well. How did you find that your axels were from the WWII jeeps??? How can I find if my ones are also form WWII jeeps?
Regarding your request, I would recomend you to try to find hotchkiss axels in france: AVEM 86 Leforum or Leboncoin.fr
Regards

W.O.F. also stocked the WWII style Rzeppa Axles for installation in the M-201.
