I know a lot of g503 owners who would have scrapped this tub. It's not pretty now, but you wait! I'm taking the time to restore it...cutting out bad metal and replacing it with good sheet metal. It's taking many years to do. When my GPW's tub is finished and the jeep is complete it will still be...

Being a long time member of the Gee this statement is true. Present company included.:-P

Anyone have a WWII Dodge they'd like to sell or know of any for sale? I wouldn't mind an early 1/2 ton, like a WC-10, or a later 3/4 ton WC-51. I wish to find one to restore one and not turn it into hot rod or rock crawler. Thanks in advance!

Can you post or PM me the address so I can stop by there when I'm in MN in the next few weeks?

I am interested in the half track and parts. Can you provide any contact information? I really appreciate it!

I do now...should have read the dates...my apologies. I hate it when old "for sale" threads are suddenly resurrected! Still looking if anyone has any leads.

Interested in more details. PM sent.
