GPW motor # 6402 was built on March 11, 1942. It would have been
assembled into a chassis 3 to 5 days later (March 16 to 18).
If you can give me the USA # for this unit I can give you the plant
that assembled it.
Although there were six plants that built the GPW, only five were
producing them in 1942.
