I seem to be on a jeep kick as of late. I am wanting to build an early Ford GPW. A while ago, a buddy of mine had a 1/35 Ford GPW conversion set that converted a Willys MB into an early Ford GPW. The set included PE and resin to do the conversion. It was pretty nice with a really nice Ford script on a new PE rear plate and the correct, square front crossmember in resin, etc. Has anyone seen one of these and do you know who made it? Is it still available, etc...? I would love to get my hands on one.

Sounds exactly like the Armo conversion set I have for the GAZ-67 Russian Jeep. Try looking at their stuff. They included a set of PE, resin and clear acetate to update the GAZ to a post-war model and included things like a new PE bumper, grill, dashboard, etc.
If it wasn't them, I know Ordnance Models did some accessories for the Jeep, just not sure which Jeep (old Tamiya, new Tamiya, Italeri or Skybow M38) they did it for. Warwheels may have something in their database.
