WTB: Jeep Tub rear panel

Post by RossPatterson » Mon Dec 18, 2017 5:42 am

Been a while since I've been on here (life and fruitlessly hunting for our missing G8T and all that), but finally back to working on the WWII Jeeps! My Dad and I are fairly certain the restoration of our GPW is set to go, but we find ourselves in need of tub components for our mid 1944 MB, S/N 357953. The floor of the tub is rather rough, but the biggest thing is that someone cut it to have a "tailgate" like a civilian Jeep, then lost the cut section. If anyone has a donor tub that they would be willing to part with the rear panel of, and possibly some of the flooring, please let me know!


It's also missing a passenger seat and rear seat, too if there are any of those out there, too.

I recommend the JMP rear panels that Ron Fitzpatrick sells on this site. They are absolutely perfect.

Too many jeeps…and a Dodge.

Are you wanting a reproduction? Don't have a repro, I have an original panel that needs some serious hammer/dolly work and welding up some extra holes. The price is pretty decent. I would take 40 bucks and you cover the shipping... if you don't mind doing some body work...

Just sent you a PM regarding your panel, a nice worn original is just what I was looking for.
