This is my 1952 M38a1. I bought it off a friend of mine and this is how he had. He put HMMWV seats in it and a Chevy S10 motor with 3 speed jeep trans and transfer case and a rear bench seat. And did the desert camo paint job with the Army markings. He also put the CJ5 grill on it.
I plan on putting the old hurricane motor original style trans and transfer case back in which I have all three just have to rebuild the motor. I also and putting the stock style grill back in with the light and going back to 24v. I will probably get rid of the rear seat and get the original style seat too. Then paint it Marine Corps forest green with yellow markings. If I can find the raised air intake and exhaust I love to put those one too.
