If you send me the USA# (hood) along with the motor/frame/data plate numbers and date of delivery I should be able to tell you which Ford plant built your GPW (or GP). I must have the correct USA # to determine the plant. (no, there is no "plant code" on the data plate.) If you have just the motor or frame # and don't know the date of delivery, I can tell you the date your motor was built. The jeep should have been assembled from 3 days to 3 weeks after that. I can do the same for GP/GPA and other Ford MV's.
