Michael France: hello i saved Dec 41 I04354 from going to scrap metal all it is is a frame but decent with a title, saving a peice of history before it gets melted. rancher didnt want it but seen my restored mvs then it struck a conversation, now i have it.
Thanks Michael, you did save it for a good reason. Here it is now and it will be mated through a little bit of work to a body that might have ended up with the same fate had you not shared this frame with me. The two were made for each other. Thanks… :D

Mine is #123378 DOD 2-27-42. It was relieved of duty in the late 40's-early 50's from tinker AFB in OKC, Oklahoma. I would have to guess this is where it was delivered when new??

Hi Scott,

Just to clarify, do you have MB 117738 or MB 117798 ? Both numbers have shown up in your recent postings.

Hello I am new to all of this. I just picked up a 41 willys mb. serial number is 102711,DOD is 12-20-41 has a matching data plate as well as frame number but the number on the gusset on the tub is different. it also has a stamped grill? I'm told it should be a slat grill? I stripped the paint off the hook and recovered the orig. military numbers.2036728. if you have any research on this that would be awesome. My name is Richard Coutu. Thanks for any help you can provide

Hi,

I've just unearthed a long hidden (and very rusty) BRT slat-grill thats been tucked away on a farm in England, since the early 1970's and I would like to add her to your list please...

Her frame number is: 123302

I believe she was produced at the end of Feb '42 & DoD 3-2-42. (To confirm)

No body number I'm afraid, as the front-half of her body was scrapped in the '70s due to rust, but the rear 'script' half of the tub survives as a small, home-made trailer...although thats very rusty now too! :(

Thanks in advance - Guy. :-)

& GPW-272270 - Sam's June '45 (Louisville) built 'VLP' (DoD: 6.12.45)
