Help Identifying Tub

I am thinking of buying this tub. I am not that smart on the different tubs and was wondering if someone can help me identify it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

It's a severely modified MB or GPW tub judging by the glove box and rear storage compartments. I want to say GPW as My dad's GPW had compartments like that but the military guys could confirm one way or another.

 

I thought it was a modified MB tub. It looks like they filled in the tool indents. The guy wants $500 for it and my rolling chasis is a mix of parts anyway.

 

believe only the GPWs came with the rear storage.

 

Both had rear storage. The Willys lids were flat while the GPW were embossed.

 

learn something new everyday.

 

Looks like a 43-44 MB tub with lots of changes hiding some clues.

 

looks like a late 42 mb.no embossing on the firewall.round tool box lock recessions.no ford ribs in the rear wheel wells.heavely modified.very solid.regards jim.

 

Hi Dirtyjeeper, are you from the Great Lakes area? I think I saw that tub posted on Detroit CL. That tub would be cool sitting on top of a Sand rail with paddle tires

 

Could be an M-38 tub. I don't believe that WW-II jeeps had a glove box.

 

They did

 

My bad. I realized that this morning. Another thing I realized is that the M38 had a removable guage cover plate. The civilian 3A does not.
