I'm a former Navy officer that collects WWII militaria firearms and vehicles. I've had a 1942 Jeep GPW for a few years that's been sitting in the back of the barn until I got the time to start a restoration. It looks great with no rust but all the mechanicals needed rebuilding. Here's what I've done: new leaf springs, replaced broken rear axle, Diff rebuild front and back with new bearings, transfer case reseal, steering linkage replacement, transmission repair for 3rd gear. It's nearly ready for some neighborhood drives.

I recently came across the frame and engine numbers and would love anyone's thoughts on when, where, what....
Frame: GPW 3550 (any guesses on proper hood number?)
Engine: MB 125725
Body: No serial number but it does have the ford impression on the rear
