GPW Modern Parts Numbers
Posted: Fri Apr 20, 2018 1:16 pm
Hi all....
I know, sacrilege to be asking about a GPW on the M38 page!
However, I'm now working on a 1942 GPW and am trying to track down any cross-over part numbers for items I could pick up at a NAPA. Maybe it's a long shot....
We're working on the brakes and the mechanic helping me made a good point about checking the wheel bearings and repacking them while they're off for the brake work. Are the wheel bearing seals available at a NAPA? If so, what is their modern part number?
Normally I would have used Midwest Military or Army Jeep Parts but the question came up today and the jeep is going up on the lift tomorrow so was hoping to get those parts locally today or tomorrow.
Thanks for the help!

PS: My '52 M38 is running great these days. Thanks for all the help!
