Looks like you have a good basis for a rebuild, restoration there. Happy trails.

Makes me want to drive mine. If it wasn't 33 out, I probably would. Really good looking work.

Bravo, Way to go Team! You are now set for years of enjoyment.

This was the first time that they were lined up like this. The 53 M38A1, I have owned for 30 years, having bought it at auction from a rural fire department. Except for the bumper unit numbers, it is an original, non restored vehicle. All of the vehicles in that picture except the 42 are...

Here is most of the fleet, taken before the 4th of July this year.

1940 Volugrafo, 1942 GPW, 1950 M38 (not running), 1953 M38A1, 1967 M715, 1977 M886, 1984 M923, 1991 M923A2

Problem is that I have 6 other vehicles that run and it is more fun to drive them, than to work on them.

Wade, you are shaming me into putting the M38 back together. The body has been standing verticle in the carport for about 4 years now. Have a rolling frame, need wire harness, new tires, and finish body work and paint. Maybe this spring.

You are a very fortunate man. If I put my jeep hood on the dining room table, I wouldn't have to worry about turkey, probably ever again. Happy Thanksgiving.

Looks like good progress. What type or brand of paint are you using?

Dme, what type of tank engine in your WW2 jeep? I have heard of the old flat head Ford V8's. Is that what you have? How about a picture?

Mine is a 53 and it is amazing how similar they still are after all those years. Yours is still a treat to find in original condition.

So its Canadian. Maybe they put tailgates in. Is that a 12/70 date on the plate? I am rusty on this but thought they quit making them somewhere in the late 60's.

Dr. Porkchop, went back and looked at your pictures. You got upgraded to the alternator and that is some fancy hi-intensity headlight wiring that you have going on there. How about sharing a picture of the back end. Was it an M38A1C for the recoiless or did they just cut the rear end out for...

Even though it may be rough, it is still nice to see one that has not been sporterized and turned red, yellow, or green. Good luck with the restoration.

Nice looking job on the engine. You aren't one of those, I am going to hone the cylinder and put a kit in people are you? Had a lengthy discussion this week with a guy working on an M38 for another person and he is a honer. You can buy new cylinders, probably on here or the E*** for a...

It will look great when you are done, but it didn't look bad from your photos, before you started.

DF you should be able to search some of the threads and see what some of the rest of us have for dates and numbers and come up with a reasonable hood number. My M38A1 is 12/53 manufacture, ser. no. 68014, and hood number 20997729. I have owned this jeep for 30 years and it is original, not...

Bravo, you do have some great work going there. Thank you for sharing.

CUCV this project has been languishing for a long time. It is more fun sometimes to drive them than work on them. Dropped the stuff off and went back at the prescribed time and the guy said he hadn't got to it. Guy doesn't return calls and I haven't caught him at his shop the last few times I...
