Re: GPW 197412 D O D 4-19-44
This last week I received my canvas seats, seat tool pouch and side mirror cover from Weebee Webbing. I had a time time to install them on the weekend and I am very happy with the result.
Next is to mount the radio. I'm going to make the mounts myself.
While visiting my, I noticed a radio headset. He gave them to me and the are the correct WW2 ones.

Hello Sarge,
Wow, what a great job you are doing on your jeep !!!
That windshield cover looks outstanding !!
I may have to place an order for one myself it looks so nice
I already have several WeeBee tops, and a seat cushion set for my 1942 GPW, with zippered cushions, stuffed with a foam piece and oneWW2 Army blanket each !!
Super comfy !!!
Great place to keep a blanket, when in a cold climate, or camping !!
Keep us posted !!
Best Regards,
Ray
