First; a correction, it seems that this is a Korean War era Jeep and not a WWII era Jeep.

*snippet; Author Brian French @ Brian's Military Jeeps of WWII.*
JEEP?
Please, do not buy into the encyclopedia editors, book authors, and others, mis-information. 'GP' DOES NOT stand for General Purpose when talking about jeeps. There are GP (general purpose) tents, but there WERE NOT any 'general purpose' jeeps.
'GP' really stood for... G= 'Government' P= '80 inch wheelbase'.
'G' was used by Ford to differentiate between vehicles produced for the Government and for civilian use. (A= Passenger car, B= Bus, C= Commercial vehicle, etc.).
Letters where used at Ford to differentiate between different models with different horsepower ratings, wheelbase measurement, etc. 'P' just happened to land at the "80 inch" spot, which is the wheelbase of a jeep.

For a wealth of information concerning Jeeps Go to Brian's Military Jeeps webpage...

Second; my deepest apologies for not placing the proper credit for the information provided by Brian previously, also my apologies for not having thoroughly checked the source of information passed onto me...
