ACM2 Composite Body Tub, 1944-1945, MB and GPW

Steel Body Tub – 1944–1945 ACM Type II Composite, Willys MB & Ford GPW

Premium Reproduction | SGI (Shree Ganesh Industries), India

Restore your late-production Willys MB or Ford GPW with this premium reproduction ACM Type II Composite steel body tub, manufactured by Shree Ganesh Industries (SGI). The ACM Type II, commonly referred to as the Composite Body, was developed as a standardized body design for use on both the Willys MB and Ford GPW during later WWII production.

These tubs are manufactured using steel thicknesses that replicate the original body construction:

• 18-gauge floor panels
• 16-gauge side panels

Each body tub is assembled at the factory and test-fitted on original-style Jeep chassis fixtures to help ensure proper alignment and fitment. Factory mounting locations are pre-drilled, reducing the amount of fitting, drilling, and modification normally associated with replacement body tubs.

Every tub ships protected in a heavy-duty wooden crate for transportation.

Features:

• Correct late-war ACM Type II / Composite Body configuration
• Designed for 1944–1945 Willys MB and Ford GPW
• High-quality reproduction manufactured by SGI (Shree Ganesh Industries)
• Correct 18-gauge floor panels and 16-gauge side panels
• Pre-drilled factory body mounting locations

• Proper reinforcement plates and structural details
