Ford built the wartime Jeep too. Willys could not make enough of its design for the American forces, so Ford produced more than a quarter of a million to the same pattern from 1941 as the GPW. Ford-built ones can be told by the letter F stamped on many small parts, and the pressed steel slotted grille that all wartime Jeeps wore was Ford's idea.
