Some Ford gasket seem to be available in plentiful supply but I would imagine
that now, more then fifty years after they were in common use, some are
becoming quite scarce. I would recommend purchasing original Ford gaskets
whenever available at good prices but I would not recommend actually using
them on your jeep. They are probably fairly brittle by now and the "Ford"
packages are so neat to have sitting on the shelf or on display with your
vehicle. I have considered trying to do as much of GPW 4 with NOS parts and
gaskets as I can but if I do I will never run the jeep. It will just be my
museum piece under glass. I have others to have fun with. (They have new
gaskets and stuff.)
