Quoted: Re: The hood decal. I get the 05TJ part. What does 41MB stand for?

MB was Willy's designation for the vehicle circa 1941. Actually...... 1941 was the slat-grill version.
As for the post above, there was no such beast as a "Willys MB GPW". They were made by Willys and they were made by Ford under contract from Willys. The Willys were called "MB" and the ones by Ford were called "GPW". Interesting in that the GPW's had every part marked with the Ford "F" script including the top of nut and bolt heads!. About 6 years ago, all the mil-veh collectors went nuts over the GPW's. They were THE item to have at the time.
The slat-grill is on the left, regular MB on the right.
And here's a Ford GPW...
BTW-Good looking mods on the tires/wheels
