I would like your help to find a aproximated hood number to paint, this jeep do not served in this based, but it was very sucessfull sqaudron against Nazi submarines and the teachers of the Brazilian Air Force Patrol squadrons born during WW2.
Any tip will be appreciated.

Re: Navy and USMC Registration Numbers
Hi Paulo,
Looks like something close to this number may be about right.
U.S.N. 156843---------------------43 GPW # 152215
to perhaps about U.S.N. 175000.

Re: Navy and USMC Registration Numbers
Tom,
Thank you for the information. I forgot the serial number 165420 DOD 12/14/1943, may I use USN 175420, with the initial digits you suggested and the last digits of the serial number.
What do you think?
Best wishes

Re: Navy and USMC Registration Numbers
My thinking the correct number is: 75433 instead of 79433

Re: Navy and USMC Registration Numbers
Tom,
Thank you, it was a long struggle to have the jeep in that conditions. But I have to thank two close friends here in Brasil they know almost everything about GPWs and MBs, and each one have a GPW with the best restorations I ever seen.
After I finished the marks painting I will put more pictures here.
Thanks again and best wishes

Re: Navy and USMC Registration Numbers
Dont know if it helps or is of interest but when i bought my MB it came with a few navy grey parts including MB steering wheel and GPW hood on it, under the paint the original markings on that hood was USN 156029. I am building a GPW out of parts so will use this hood on it. Does anyone know what they number tells of the Navy GPW the hood came off.
Id rather walk than not drive a Jeep
