MIght be a good jeep to drive while restoring back to original.

“1952 M38A1 with the original motor. Runs Great. I had it machined about 12 years ago, including the crankshaft and has less than 1000 miles on the rebuild.
The major parts I replaced include. . .Fuel tank, and tank floor pan. fuel/vacuum pump, seat upholstery, rear seat frame, suspension, brake calipers and pads, carb rebuild kit, clutch, muffler, horn, turn signal added, jerry can and holder, spare tire bracket. I would buy NOS or used original parts as much as possible when restoring.
It has been converted to 12 volt. Hinged radiator.
I have the Army discharge papers.”
