Paul discovered this plate on the driver’s side cowl of his M-38A1. Anyone know what it does?
Paul writes, “1952 m38a1-thought this was some sort of id plate at first. Looked inside glove box, has a backing plate and bondo fills the holes. any idea what was mounted? thank you.”
That is for mounting the mirror, same mirror as used on all earlier M type Jeeps
Thanks Leo!
M38A1 plate on drivers side cowl is for military issue rear view mirror which bolted to that plate. It was made heavy duty due to running into brush or getting shot off .
Spot light??
