my mb year ?

What is the difference between a 42 mb and a 45 mb, or did they even make the mb in 45. I am confused because mine is registered as a 45 but is clearly a mb. Plus I am looking at doing a replacement tub because the one on it is beyond help. So any suggestions on where to get one and what price I would be looking at. :? :? :?

 

My friend nick just finished a 45 mb restore after 3 months of work and $9000 . He got most of his running gear parts from krage and walacks and got the odd and end parts from brent mullins jeep parts and beach wood canvas. He is still waiting for the fuel filter kit , rad support rod and the radio circut box and he will be finished. Oh BTW if you are going the restore route I have a machine here that stamps numbers in the ID plate and matches the Mil ones perfectly HTH
