Re: gpw 1943 dashboard switch layout
Andy, I'll make you a trade.
Your GPW needs a pull-push light switch and a floor-button starter. The push-button on the left end of the dash is a Bubba add-on for a starter or a horn, not original. Edit: Well, I guess it could be for a siren, but that's doubtful, and should be labeled as such.
Now, what do I want in return? Please post the serial number of your GPW, the Date of Delivery, and the hood (USA) numbers if you have them. I am collecting info on GPW's near mine in DoD, 26 March 1943.
