This was a son and father project, we restored this Jeep. It was painted three times as the first paint job was the wrong paint. The second was a different gallon and it came out the same as the first. We finally bought new pain from PA. and we liked it. I made this a USMC Jeep with my Marine Corp Serial number. Once a Marine always a Marine. It has been in Military Parades here in Northern California.
Thanks for the link to the bumper rope. I have an original with the loops for my M38A1, but it is getting a little ragged.
Hi Thomas,
Here is a link to a manilla bumper rope sold at Kaiser Willys. Let us know if we can help with anything and have a great weekend!
Great looking GPW. I also restored a ’42 GPW – originally purchased in California. I served as well in the Marines – and Army Military Police. Would love to hear from you. Animalfamily29@hotmail.com
Looking for the rope for the front bumper for a 47′ I just bought. Where did you get yours?
Thanks.
