I have a 1942 Ford GPW. I has been owned by the norwegian army until 1986.
It has been totally rebuilt in 1969 by the norwegian army. It does not have
all the original parts; the frame is Ford the body is Willys and the engine
is Willys. It has probably been stored most of the time from 69 to 86, so
it's in pretty good condition; a little rust and minor oil leaks. The tires
are from 1963, and are still useful. It has norwegian army made doors and
side panels (canvas), as well as a heater mounted under the dashboard. It
has original jerry can and holder, and ski holder. In order to get it
approved and registered by authorities it has been fitted with right and
left signal lights.

I am missing all the original accessories, like the axe, shovel, fire
extinguisher, first aid kit and, all the tools and chains. Does anyone know
if these accessories are available somewhere, used or new made.
