Sounds like you need more than a few parts !
If you have a parts manual, you will find that things like bolts, nuts =
& washers are included in the parts breakdown. It gives part number descr=
iption size etc. You may very well have a different dook to me. Mine's =
date April 1942. If you get stuck give me some examples & I'll cross chec=
k for you.

> Hi,
> We're restoring an April, 1943 GPW and need some parts. We've blown a

> Archer, Surplus City and Beachwood. We're trying to beat their prices.
>
> We also broke nearly every bolt taking the body apart. Is there a list
> somewhere that says what size bolts go where? We have the tech manuals
> and the parts manual but most of the body bolts aren't specified as far
> as we can tell, especially those bolts that hold the tub to the frame.

> Also, we've seen a lot of restorations where the pieces and parts were
> all photographed before reassembling. Is there a reason for this? Do
> buyers ever want to see this?
>
> One last question: Has anyone had experience with Beachwood's vinyl top=
?
> This is going to be a daily commute vehicle (2 miles) and we need a top
