As the low cheekpiece stock had last been standard on the Model 1952, or GK, that was how it was to be ordered. Perhaps due to convention it would become assumed that 'GK' stood for 'Gerader Kolben' much the same as many believe that 'Jeep' came from an abbreviation of the words, 'general purpose' (it did not).




It could be like that.




The shoe would fit, with both 'gekrummter kammerstangel' and 'gerader kolben' being logical depending on perspective or time period referenced.

An original meaning could have been surpassed by another, as it was logical for countless GI's and others to assume that 'Jeep' came from Ford's designation of their Truck, 1/4 ton, 4X4 as 'GP' and that GP meant 'general purpose'.

In fact, the GP designation of the first contract Ford 'Jeeps' was their own code for government (G), eighty inch wheelbase (P). The standard Ford built WW2 'Jeeps' were GPW - Government, 80" wheelbase, Willys pattern.

The word, 'Jeep', predates the vehicles by decades.


Ford GP, 1941
