Re: [WT] Re: '58 Willys
Willys started stamping the serial number on the right front top frame rail in 1954. It's just above the shock mount. However, only the actual production number is present, not the model. DJ FL

Both Ford and Willys were contracted to make military Jeeps. The Ford is known as a GPW - G= General purpose, P=80 inch wheelbase, W= Willys design. Ford identified their product by placing their logo

Thank you Al. Now I understand. Willys and Ford both built Jeeps for the Army at the same time.

Might make a difference in how they do the judging. A static display with that information I could see would be helpful and might make a difference. The show I've been entering requires the vehicle be

43 CJ or MB
Hi Folks, EBay has a 43 Willys CJ posted. I used to own a 43 Ford CJ type Jeep. Did Willys and Ford both make Jeep vehicles at the same time or is someone mistaken? Scott

Re: [WT] pitman arm installation question...
That wasn't where I used the 600wt oil - I used it in the knuckles on the axle. For the steering gear I went with the straight 140wt oil specified in the service manual I have. That was a 1950ish
