Hi all,

Picked up this photo on ebay a week or so ago. What you see is as much as I know about it- the only thing on the back is the number 21 in small inked on print.

It hasnt been altered in photoshop. Click the link for a larger version on surfacezero.com

If anyone wants a better quality, please let me know and I can email the 600DPI my scanner did (thats the best it can do).

Enjoy!

No worries! For the $10 or so it costs me to usually get these photos, id rather share them in the hope one day someone might find their jeep or it gives details to us to know more about these early fords!

Cheers,

Note the angle of the windscreen. Most jeeps I've seen (including my own) are at this angle but I believe they were originally more upright, and got bent back by heavy guys pulling on them to get in and out.

Bazza....I think if you get much more than about 32 1/8" when measured from the CENTER of the arm pivot hole up to the top corner of the outer frame then it has definitely been bent back.
