Rear seat

Post by Jeffro Bodine » Sun Nov 27, 2022 2:22 pm

I recently found a rear seat for a military jeep. I am not sure if it’s mb/gpw or for a later jeep. Is there any tell tale signs that would identify what it’s for?

Yes. The MB/GPW cargo area where the seat fits is (IIRR) 32 inches wide. All of the CJ’s and the M38/M38A1 are 36 inches. A post-war rear seat will not fit in a G503.
