My question is did they use a M38A1 , when no M170 was available?I don't want to try and do something that never existed.
Would I put the Red cross on the hood, or rear end where the star usually goes.Would I put the medical symbol on front fender by driver?
How would they have mounted litters,for storage& carrying some one from the front lines.

The used what ever was available to them at the time. the jeeps were modified in the field by the individual units. They did all kinds of creative things.

My grandfather who bought the jeep you see brand new in 46 was a WWII medic, He left us 8 yrs ago to be with the lord! I was a Corpsman in the USMC 1989-1996 Yes the Marine had Corpmans, trained by the Navy of cource! He left me the jeep and i restored it in rememberance of him! I was with the 2nd medical so that is the markings i used! If you need any help just ask. See ya at the Ga Rally in 2013.
