the earlier jeeps had teh same kit useualy spread out..dhovel on fender axe on another and the pick/set stashed or non existant...the milspec body jeeps had a pocket for the folding shovel
 
I don't think those indentations came until 1943. I can tell you the '41 and '42 Jeeps didn't have them, whether they were built by Willys or Ford. A close friend of mine had a '41 Willys and a '42 Ford-built Jeep, but I've seen it on later ones (another friend had a '47). Whlie on the subject, if you know where there's a real-deal '41 Willys Jeep, it's a damned gold mine (the engine alone is worth thousands, as it was only used into early '42). From what I'm told, there are less than 200 of them known to exist on the planet, and well over 100 of them are in Europe as WWII units left behind. There are a few in Japan as well.

Ford-built '41s are much more plentiful. Interestingly, the Willys bellhousing pattern was used on the Ford "Windsor" V8s (221, 260, 289, 302, 351W). Ford probably had about a zillion of them lying around after the war and figured they might as well use them up. Dave's Jeep had a 289 K-code 289 in it; it bolted right up to the original bell. That thing would wheelie faster than the Li'l Red Wagon.
 
Jass excluded, any one know how to tell a ford built Willys from a Kaiser built willys?
 
Stretch knows I know the answer. :D I also know why.

It's why Dave could never find a correct engine for his '41. If memory serves, that block was only used from the beginning of production in 1941 until March or April of '42. However, there are a lot more ways to tell who built it.
 
For being "not Mopar related" this sure is getting a lot of ink. :bwuhaha:
 
ive actualy seen a small handfull 3 or 4 ford scripted jeeps all were milspecs.....so i dont know how much truth there is in it
