I've picked up a GPW...

[Mike Cecil]

Nice find, and with the hallmarks of a post-war operated 'Truck 1/4 ton' - the two bolt heads in the lower windscreen frame right side being a good indicator (no pun intended....)

Now what about the nomenclature plates and the chassis number? Are the former still fitted and what do they tell you (ie us)? What is the GPW chassis number and the engine number, please?

Hi Warren,
As Mike says, signs of post war use. The reflector looks like the usual die cast local replacement and will probably have D/I\D cast on the rim. The tail lights I have seen on old civvy vehicles, the Army seemed to be more inclined to use the Heller lights with full diameter lens, no bezel as a replacement. I suppose it depends when they were replaced and by whom. Those lights would have pre-dated the Hellers
