taillight question
What taillights do I need? What I mean is, I have seen some marked C-B and Guide. Which or what do I need for my VEP GPW?

Re: taillight question
Neither, you need plain one's. Have you had a look on Jon's JeepDraw? it gives you all the information that you need.1943Willysgpw wrote:I have seen some marked C-B and Guide. Which or what do I need for my VEP GPW?
BUCKETS -Olive Drab Inside & Outside. Buckets are "F script" stamped
Base plate and studs are Cad Plated. Ford Plate studs are "F" marked
DOORS are Plain, unmarked i.e.: Not F marked. Early Ford used a rubber seal between the light housing and the body tub.
The unmarked Ford tail lamp doors can be separated from other "unmarked" doors by looking at the "drain" fold on the lower section.
BULBS - Plated Cases, not Painted "F" marked.
If you go on Jeepdraw there are some images, but not of the doors. Hope this helped?

Re: taillight question
You need the "F" buckets with the early brass connectors (not steel as were the later ones). If you find any extra, please let me know!

Re: taillight question
I have one on my jeep. It is a little rough. I will retore it and try and use it for reference.
Just wanted to make sure it was the right one before I planned on keeping it.
Thank you both for the help.
