Winter and the Willys MB/Ford GPW

42fordgpw — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 23:35:16 +0000

A book that includes the gear issued by the US Army to winterized the WW2 jeep.

The 83 page book contains the instruction manual for installing the Winterization Kits that were issued during WW2. Frankly, when I started 20 years ago in this hobby I didn’t even know WW2 jeeps could have had a heater. There is information here about the slave kit…this allowed one jeep to be used as a starter vehicle for other vehicles that were too frozen to start on their own. There’s information here about the crew compartment heater, engine hood blanket (did you know one goes UNDER the engine, too?), full top enclosure (it had zipper doors), primer pump for cold weather starting and much more.
