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
Correct late-style body contours and construction
Proper reinforcement plates and structural details
Plain rear body panel without Willys or Ford script

Notes:
The ACM Type II Composite Body began appearing in production in early 1944 and was used on both Willys MB and Ford GPW Jeeps through the end of WWII production.
Primer finish; minor surface preparation is recommended before final paint.
Compatible with original or reproduction fenders, hood, grille, windshield frame, and related MB/GPW body components.
As with any reproduction body, we recommend test-fitting the tub and all related sheet metal and components before final bodywork and paint.

I Purchased many parts for a 1960 CJ,in two different Orders , Everything perfect and Fast Shipping , considering that I'm On the other site of the Globe.
Jamie and all the staff I have talked to have been friendly and answered all my questions all parts that I have ordered has been a five star good quality
The unit bolted right on and lined up with the cable assembly side prefect and has just the right amount of windshield sweep. When the motor is turned off , the blades continue to the bottom of the windshield before motion stops. The motor , switch and wiring are top quality. .
Very happy.
