5.0 out of 5 stars The Military Jeep Restorers- BIBLE, August 29, 2000

Ever since I got this wonderful book, my restoration of WW II jeeps has got a definite direction. I have been able to master the various differences between the MBs and GPWs. The wiring is made perfect. The quest for 'F' marks has increased(I have found many more such marks than those listed on page 139.The 'Jeep Straps', 'Seal patterns','Marking of Vehicles' and the 'General use,Standardized Parts' are only found in this book. As a restorer,owning 23 low bonnet jeeps, I seem to be commanding a fairly good knowledge about WW II jeeps, and would like to be contacted by jeep lovers in INDIA for more information. Could this be the starting point. I once again assuse that I am proud to possess the Bible on Jeep Restoration. Would like to own the second book by Ray Cowdrey,but dont know where in India will it be available? Please guide.

THE INTRICATE DETAIL OF THESE BOOKS,WHICH AN ENGLISH FRIEND INTRODUCED ME TO, WAS VERY USEFUL TO ME WHICH CHANGED ME FROM SIMPLY LIKING THE JEEP TO A LIFETIME LOVE AFFAIR! A MUST FOR EVERY JEEP LOVER-HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
