I used to do it all the time I just pulled the rear driveshaft put everything in neutral and away you go you wone even know its back there until you have to stop fast. One thing with the 1008 and 1028 if you may have bad king pin springs and bushings be careful the first time crossing RR tracks...

Looks good Chuck at this rate your going to be parade ready when we start in a couple weeks.

I get the pleasure of driving them around a while and the feeling of accomplishing something then pass it along to someone else to enjoy Tony your first on the list.

Thanks Chuck

At least I wait until the paint drys.

I believe the 3A is real close to the M38 as far as looks with the exception of the stowage area for the pioneer tools and the 24 volt system.

Tony my wife doesnt know how to drive anything with a manual trans I like it that way any toys I buy and dont want her to drive I make sure it has a manual trans the jeep should be ready for parade season it starts in a couple weeks.

To be safe change out your king pin springs and bushings a very easy thing to do I was apprehensive about doing my first one until I found out how easy it was. Every 1008 and 1028 I have owned I changed them out go on fleabay and you can buy the springs and bushings very reasonable it will drive...

Hi Tony going to paint the tub tomorrow got the frame all redone last week its going along slowly.

A few more of todays paint work and a couple shots of the underside of the tub as it came off the frame.

I bought a nice CJ3A a while back and have started to give it a facelift since most military jeeps are out of my price range I have decided to make a M38 clone. I have a real nice base to work with virtually rust free at one time it was retubbed with a surry jeep tub so I took the jeep and sold...

Most times they replace the hour meter with the engine and use the old speedometer the rebuild tag on the dash has the mileage stamped in it when it was rebuilt for instance my odometer read 22.000 miles and the tag on the dash was stamped rebuilt RRAD 2003 mileage at rebuild 18,500 so it had...

Sounds like a sheared center bolt the axle is sliding back and forth on the leaf spring.

Would that be the MD Juan corporation thanks for the info but this jeep has a rust free tub something you dont see very often.

If it was truly a four wheel drive version its worth a bit I will wait until the tub is off and see if the axle and drive line numbers all correspond.

These are shot before I started to take it apart a virtually rust free tub and front clip the soft top is a tiger top made by bestop and is for sale too the jeep runs and drives great ran it right up on the trailer no sweat over all I think its a pretty good deal for $2800 dollars.
