USMC Amb & a Flea Market Finf
I have added two Jeeps to my collection over the last week, the first is a 1945 Willys MB USMC ambulance Jeep, Ser# 419??? Frame tag is partially melted and data plates are gone. Original engine, I switched out the civy head with a correct MB head cleaned it up, the GPW front bumoper is just for mock up as I am cleaning up the frame horns, it had a winch and supporting steel that weighed in just at 500 pounds! I didn't have time to get really good pictures as a 45 GPW showed up a few days later, it was at a sale at the local flea market.I'll post more pictures of it in the unrestored forum Thanks to Jay from JaysWW2Jeeps for finding me the ambulance Jeep, I just asked him to find me one two weeks ago, now that's service!

My jeep was a California surplus jeep and the vin number was the same as the frame number.
Look and see if any previous registration information will help you!

It just has two small screws, I'll post some better pictures tonight, actually looks very hastily done.

Re: USMC Amb & a Flea Market Finf
A bit of work ahead of you Blitz ,but a nice find, keep us posted on progress, especially the USMC ambulance jeep. I was interested by the back seat going over the tool box lid, never seen that before.
