    My New Project - 1942 Ford GPW

    Got all the brake lines and master cylinder installed today. Then on to refurbishing the steering gear but had to fix the steering tube surrounding the shaft which was bent. I have a friend who is 89 years old and knows just about all there is to know on early model vehicles and he came up...

    My New Project - 1942 Ford GPW

    My New Project - 1942 Ford GPW

    It truly amazes me that Ford stamped his mark on virtually every part on the GPW Jeep. I am fortunate that my vehicle has most of the original and stamped parts but to show you the extent of this, I am posting the first photo which is of two small clutch tube metal disks about 1/2" in diameter...

    1941 K18-C GMC Recovered today

    I recommend you stay with the original tank so when you get invited to take it to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington it will be as original as possible. [thumbzup]

    My New Project - 1942 Ford GPW

    Today was spent putting the final paint on the bell housing, parking brake parts and axle tube clamps. Then I disassembled the T84 transmission and inspected each part since I did see evidence of water penetration. Finally tally showes an order for $305 in tranny parts will get the job done...
