Features include a beige canvas soft top, 15″ steel wheels, a Jerry can mount, a water fording system, and a 24-volt electrical system. The truck is said to have been refurbished under prior ownership and was acquired by the seller in early 2022. Subsequent work reportedly involved rebuilding the carburetor, flushing the fuel system, and installing a deep water valve system in addition to replacing the voltage regulator, ignition wires, springs, and front tie rods.

Bill shared this M-38A1 for sale. The seller doesn’t note it, but the bumpers suggest this to be the USMC variant. This also has the Selector-Style Free-Lock branded hubs. It’s the first time I’ve seen that style of Selector branded Free-Lock (the others I’ve seen have been the more squat version and/or the more polished version).
