Early GPW Filterette Options
Filterettes… looking for research info on correct filterette for an early (first contract) Ford GPW, #9812 (Dallas plant)? All info appreciated! I have a Tobe Deutchmen hinged door early version but want some clarification. I see Ford Sprague versions mentioned s well. What is the rule? Concensus?

Re: Early GPW Filterette Options
Hi,
I wouldn't question having the hinged door filterette on your GPW.
My GPW 11730 came to me (unrestored) with the hinged door filterette fitted still on the tub. It is a Dallas built GPW.
If going by serial, I`ve also seen GPW's in the 12000 range with them fitted too, but not paid much attention for any higher than that.
Cheers,
Ian.

Re: Early GPW Filterette Options
Ian, I once owned an unrestored GPW in the 32XXX range and it had a hinged Tobe-1107G installed. An anomaly for sure!
I wish I still had that Jeep.
