Ford Script Tub, too! Wish we could see the engine. I thought the rear-most (back) reflectors go adjacent to the rear marker/lights...?

newbie learning as I go here, but is the resin steering wheel CJ? or did MB/GPWs ever have that?

I don't have the exact dates offhand, but early MBs and GPWs had black plastic steering wheels Manufactured by Sheller, then the green version, and then the spoke version (thanks to Brian for correcting me below). Here's an example of repairing an old Sheller steering wheel: http://g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=252577 The CJs used the black steering wheel (made my Sheller??)

They had the solid black steering wheel til around march 42, then a solid green one until around mid Feb. of 43 then the metal spoke one.

I knew you'd know the answer to this Brian. Did Sheller make the metal spoke one as well?

I'm not real sure on that Dave. Haven't found much information on those.
