    I am trying to find the dimensions for just the body on a MB or GPW. Every place that I have looked lists the length with the bumper and the width with the spare tire(I believe.) I just need from the grille to the tailgate and body side to side. Thanks

    Sorry for the delay, I just plain forgot to do this. I took the measurements off of a '44 GPW, complete original body has never been off frame.

    I measured from the front of the hood to the surface of the rear body panel: 112.75 inches

    body width at rear of door opening (top of curve): 57"

    Center of door opening (at seam): 55.5"

    Middle of front fenders: 58"

    The fenders do seem a little wider than the body.

    Hope it helps!
