A M170 is a M38A1 which has been stretched 20″ to carry 3 stretchers. Made from 1953-1963. Basically a Military version of a CJ6. Only 4000 something were produced and only a couple hundred known to survive. Includes a bunch of parts which some are NOS that are not mentioned. 1955 Willy’s M170 body, 1960 M170 body and rolling chassis and a 1961 M38A1 rolling parts chassis winch includes engine, trans and t-case. Decided to move on to another project that I can enjoy more. Asking $3500 and NO TRADES.”

“I have two 1953 M38A1 projects. One is all original 24 V system which does run but needs a carburetor and ignition coil which I can provide. Included is a new fuel line kit which it will need. The brakes do not work. The body is rough but comes with front and rear brand new floor panels rear tailgate section and toolbox. The other 53 is a restoration in progress complete chassis has been gone through with all new brakes,seals,brake lines, etc. All the heavy lifting work has been completed for you. T90 transmission and T18 transfer case have been rebuilt, engine has all new seals with the exception of rear main seal. Engine is yet to be tested. This vehicle comes with a new old stock body with very minor surface rust on the passenger side, standard windshield frame, hood and new CJ5 fenders (easily converted) Front seats and a whole bunch of extra parts.

Anything that I have that is M38A1 related goes with the total package. I have one set of new batteries for the vehicles. Too many small items to list . Serious inquiries only price is firm please no lowballing . I have one title for the green Jeep and to spare engines to go with it both engines are frozen most likely due to sitting.”

“Hi, I’m helping my dad sell his entire collection of military jeeps. They are located in Baraga mi there in a barn with a concrete floor. They been sitting a very long time.They do not run. They need total restoration and there is alot of parts that come with them.

1st jeep is a 1963 M170 ambulance. It was from Nevada. In my opinion this is a extremely solid jeep. No rust areas it has the hurricane 4 cylinder engine that did run. The engine is not the original one though.

There are 2 1954 M38A1 jeeps. One (pictured) is a 2 seat hard top. The body is in good condition no rust out but at one time some rust repair was done. The engine ran great in this one. The other M38A1 is not complete. No engine or trans mission. Continue reading →
