1944 Ford GPW

Post by IvorGPW » Mon Mar 06, 2017 3:40 pm

The 1944 Ford GPW I am restoring has 4 holes in the rear passenger side quarter panel. I am pretty sure my Jeep was a radio jeep as it has the cut in the floor for the PTO and many remnants of forest green paint. I am wondering if the MP-50 radio antenna is correct for my jeep.

The holes are for the radio junction box which was mounted under the front passenger seat. These were standard on late war jeep without the firewall mounted radio filter.

Please post some photos of the cut away on your front floor for the PTO. Does it still have the PTO assembly affixed?

Too many jeeps…and a Dodge.
