Gpw frame number

Post by MXS354 » Sun Feb 06, 2022 1:23 am

Hi I’m hoping some one can possibly help me find out any information, numbers or designation for a Ford gpw I have recently purchased.
I’m new to this so could do with some pointers,

Serial number gpw255778. 1945

Thank you

Hello,
I have a photo of the GPW 255574 which is the closest to your s/n I have.
It was produced in Richmond in April 1945. Data plate in aluminum.
You should enter in contact with:

He will most likely be able to give more information.
