“This is my 1952 Model M38 U.S. Army jeep. Garage kept. This is one the last of the flat fender jeeps. Introduced in 1950 at the beginning of the Korean war. Only 45,173 were made. Production ended in Sept of 1952. I rebuilt it from the ground up, complete body off restoration 3 years ago. NO RUST ANYWHERE! All parts were sandblasted and primed. This included the chassis, body, fenders, and all parts large and small. Any rusted parts were discarded and replaced. All new NDCC military tires, new brake system, new wiring harness, gas tank seats, canvas. The jeep had a Ford Pinto engine when I got it. I got rid of that and installed a rebuilt Willys L4-134 “Go Devil” 60 HP engine which was the original for this Jeep. I also upgraded to a 12 Volt system including a one wire alternator. Installed front seat belts and turn signals. The drive train is in excellent operating condition. It’s been driven only 1000 miles or so since restore. Mostly to military, car shows, and parades. The siren gets this Jeep plenty of attention at parades and at these events from vets and the general public. Lots of “Thumbs Up” from other drivers when driven around town. Drive it anywhere at 40 or 45 MPH. For longer distances, it has a tow bar with 2″ ball and electrical connections. It can be flat towed. No trailer needed.
.
I have really enjoyed the Jeep, But it’s time get a new toy.. I have always had interest in Model A Fords and would be interested in trading for a coupe or roadster with rumble seat. in comparable condition. If you have one, email me with a pix a brief description. If we are mutually interested, we can go from there. Not interested in hot rods or repros. Just a plain old Model A.”

    Did you sell it already? I have an m-38 and I am looking to restore it, but can’t find anyone to help work on it. Thoughts?
