Congratulations for that very original jeep.
Any chance to have a good photo of the glove box serial data plate?
Thanks.

That’s OK, thank you very much.
For sure that’s a steel data plate :wink:

You can also just make out the "1/4 T" in the mystery box!
Very cool jeep. Good luck with it.

Anyone have a pair of original F stamped upper gussets and a bumper? That would be a great help on my front end.

Looks like the 8th AAF in the UK had their rear bumpers mounted upside down too.

That is one rare and beautiful barn find! Not likely to find many more as time marches on.
