I'm going but ain't got a deuce.
Will possibly be looking for a M103 cover, some m1008 cucv stuff and possibly M38A1 stuff. In desperate need of 2 rims and tires for one of those. Might be talked into a trailer m100 or maybe m416
Im happy to get the opportunity. Im also lucky that its present owner will be hleping me out and has answered dozens of questions already. I also have a local guy that does great work with restorations in the IN MVPA chapter I belong to so I will likely use him for sand blasting and painting as...
Well looks like Im ressurecting this one a bit... I havent done anything except agreed to buy one from a member here. Its a 54 M38A1 and... well its rough to say the least. Basically a frame with axles, transmission, and a transfer case. It also has one fender and a grille! So started shopping...
Still trying to sort out the dragging issue and some electrical. Turn signals arent wanting to work. But looks like the rear end isnt too bad and is working as it should. When I jack up the front wheels they dont spin quite as freely as the rear. Who knows, might be a transmission issue at this...

Thanks for the channel lock tip. I just need to find time and dry weather to get it done. Also noticed it seemed to be dragging. Think the parking brake may be out of adjustment again.... ugh. Spent all last summer rebuilding the entire rear brake system.
Moved around the M103A3 with the gensets to their semi permanent home. Noticed a newly formed electrical bug. Left turn signal stays on constantly, no more clicks. Is dim/nearly visible ubless left turn signal is depressed/on. Otherwise the front marker light and turn signal dont want to work...
