Zaverboy, thanks for the info. that’s pretty awesome. My hood number, I believe is original. I haven’t tried to go any deeper into the paint. I would love to find that engine, as my GPW has a post war civilian motor in it.

Mc & Zee...
The fact those GPWs have SEQUENTIALLY numbered USA numbers might very well be due to them being built at different Ford plants. First thing to check is if they have the SAME DOD...since they are 126 apart, I think they were made at the same Ford plant on the same DAY, but the motors, which determine the Serial Number were not delivered any closer.
Of course Tom Wol-bolt would know all about this...

I have GPW 6834 DOD 3-20-42 a Dallas GPW. Good to see serial # and DOD so close. I see by your data plate it appears not to be a Dallas build. Do you know where it was built?

My 42 gpw, sn.4090, DOD 3-4-42 has something in common with those built with numbers close to mine. Many are sitting on Willys frames. Is this coincidence and were "built up" over the years, or was there a "block" of them built on Willys frames at the factory?
