That's a deal of a lifetime for a solid, complete tub. I paid well over double that for a tub in slightly better condition back in 2013. Good luck with the sale!

Any chance this is a script tub?

Is this a Ford tub or ACM tub?

Based on the information that was listed by the seller this body is like he said. About July 1942. It is not a Ford tub it is an ACM Type 1, serial # 58790 and it is not a Script.

Thank you. The seller listing it as a gpw tub and then describing it as an acm tub was confusing. I thought Ford did not employ acm bodies until 1943 as per the generally accepted chart of body type differences.

Tub is an AMC, Type 1

However it has GPW toolbox lids and came off a GPW.

Not a script.

Thanks for comments and insights
