Wrong.
Bantam Car company designed the Jeep and won an army contract to produce it (1,500 units), it then lost the next purchase contract to Willys (16,000 units) who "incorporated" most of the Bantam design but used its own 4 cylinder engine. Ford also submitted a design and won a contract for 1,500 of its "Pygmy" scout car (designated the GP by the army) that also used most of Bantam's design and a Ford engine. Ford's contract for that design was renewed but only an additional 2,956 were delivered.
When the army started to gear up for WW2 Willys and later Ford built nearly all the Jeeps (Bantam only built 2675 Jeeps) using the design that was finalized by Willys. During World War II, Willys produced 363,000 Jeeps and Ford some 280,000.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
