I don't know anything of this vehicle but I think
it is interesting enough to place it.

Electric bilge pump
Hello Jerome Yes it is an extra electric bilge pump. You know our toys are very expensive so I don't want to take any risk. If your engine fails when you're on the water and you have a leak you're deep in trouble!! :shock: So I installed an extra pump with clamps on the chassis(no drilling). And in ...

Developments of GPA 4928
Hello to you all! I'm happy that there is some movement again in the restauration of GPA 4928. On a very cold sunday morning I made myself a promise that I would install the transmission and transfer-case. I lifted the heavy iron piece and hurt my back so seriously that I wasn't able to do anything ...

Original dash
Hello Mithril & Dominique I'm pretty sure that the Ford GPA used the same instruments as the Ford GPW and made changes at the same date as the normal jeeps. You can read in the book of Lawrence Nabholtz (a very good book by the way!). On the contract Ford-F-4 may '43 you still can see the speedo...

Return of the pink panther
Today I received the seccond part of the sandblasted parts. The sandblasting company used the same "epoxi primer" only now a pink collour! I used a pair of extra hands of a friend of mine to secure the chassis in the hull. This is not a pleasant job to do with all the rubbers seals between...

Generator problems
Tony
A friend of mine has a good idea!!
Pharhaps you can bring some spacers between the generator bracket with the two bolts and the engine block.
Then you have more room for ajustment.
