Hello all
I just acquired one more gpw but unfortunately data plates are gone and engine is a MB wilson
I have just the chassis number on the pic
I am sure some expert like Tom could help so that to eveluate the fabrication date
Chassis numer is 142060
Then i can get some coherent repro data plate
Thank in advance for your help , your devotion is fantastic

Re: gpw vin stamped on chassis
Hi Jean, Farley volume 2 puts your GPW in september 1943 (p.180), so mid production.
Is the chassis number longer than to be seen in the photo?
The way it is stamped can possibly lead to the factory , like so : * GPW - 142060 * ( Star GPW double arrow 142060 Star ) and experts (not me) can tell you.

I have got the following information for you from a very well informed specialist .
GPW 142060 should have come from the Louisville, Ky. assembly plant with a most likely DoD of either Sept. 7 or 8, 1943.

Yes it’s a nice drive to Menil aux Bois, via Rocroi and Charleville-Mézieres.
