night cub ◊ 2020-06-13 08:29	@peru4x4 - can you tell the difference between the Willys and the Hotchkiss Jeeps?
4x4peru ◊ 2020-06-15 14:42	@night cub- From pictures one of the more noticeable differences between Hotchkiss vs MB/GPW is the windshield supports. The MB/GPW has the two wood block supports mounted to the hood itself and nothing on the windshield frame. The Hotchkiss has two added metal brackets mounted on the windshield frame over the wipers to support the windshield in the lowered position, and no supports on the hood. So a clean hood w/ brackets on w/s frame is generally a Hotchkiss. Often the hood blocks are removed so the combination of brackets on the w/s and no blocks suggest Hotchkiss. There are other differences w/ marker lights, twin antennae mounts etc... that others can comment on but for me the windshield mounts are an easy reference.
