UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
This might be an interesting find. Did the early M-38a1 come without a tailgate or is this a later model body?
“For sale is this 1952 Jeep Willy. Used in the winter months only…the rest of the time it was housed in the garage, Snow blade, Runs okay, Only minor rust, Enclosed roof/cap was installed, A lot of original parts”
I believe the M38A-1 that is in our yard is a 53 and it has no tailgate.
M38A1s 1952-1964 do not have a tailgate unless they had been equipped with a 107mm cannon, some of those rigs were cut, fitted with a tailgate, had the gas can and spare mounted to the sides of the body as the cannon hung out the ass end!
