Re: Willys Deep Water Fording Apparatus Patent Drawings
For those new to this topic, this is not the system that was installed on Jeeps prior to the D-Day invasion, it is a more elaborate sealed and pressurized system.
One will note that there is another topic on G-503 concerning the Fording Valve Data Plate design and that coincidentally, the information contained on the M-38A1 Fording Data Plate WO 800537 is indeed the Patent Number for this deep water fording system.

Re: Willys Deep Water Fording Apparatus Patent Drawings
And just when was this system put into production and on which Jeep Model.
We are not talking them being standard on MB/GPW. This did morph onto some post war Jeeps and then onto M-38//M-38A1.
