LOOKING FOR HELP!! ID WILLYS FRAME WITH GPW BODY.

I recentally bought a (was told) 45 MB. I checked frame # tag on left frame horn stamped MB.210_ _ _ It does have the tube up front but alot of f script parts. headlight hinges Ford, Toe Kicks Ford ,Tool box lids and recessed button all Ford style. Leaf spring straps also Ford style. Unfortunatly back is cut for a tailgate, data tags on glove box all missing. I haven't checked motor #'s yet and was missing cross over tube from air cleaner and carb. It appears to be the original motor (runs great!!) No vent on oil filler tube. Was wondering if this is possible a Willys frame delivered to Ford? Anyway to pin point an exact year? According to serial numbers on frame it would be a around Feb. 43 MB. It doesn't look like the tub has ever been off this. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am looking to restore this and sell. Thanks for any help with this!
