1943 GPW Navy

Post by cooperpaige » Fri Oct 28, 2022 9:46 am

By reading posts, a 1943 GPW would not have left factory painted Navy color scheme. Since that is the case would the Port Agency shipping info be stenciled/painted on the side, or would it have been painted over? Also, would any data plates appear other than the standard glovebox ones?
