UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1950.
(08/22/2014) Listed as a 1953 M-38A1, the body and grille are from a CJ-5.
“This old military version of the CJ, an MB, has been an incredibly dependable off road warrior for the family for over 30 years. Our 24 yr old daughter learned to drive in it. As the photos show, it has seen better times cosmetically, but the ol’ girl is as capable and reliable as ever. Posi in the front with limited slip in the rear, dual lever transfer case, power saginaw steering, CB, Chey 327 engine, runs strong, always cool with huge old Cadillac radiator, Warn hubs, new brakes all the way around, lots of rubber. Solid Half doors, Heavy tow bar. An old style performer. Restore or drive as is.”
dave i see the blank electrcal opening just ahead of the passenger door , as well as the battery cover in front of windshield. it looks like a civilian dash though.
Yeah, I was going by the dash, but I forgot they can be swapped pretty easily. The early CJ-5s have the military lid. I couldn’t remember if any early CJ-5s had the indent on the passenger side. Most early M-38A1s didn’t have tailgates like this does.
Best advice is to look this one over closely.
