Year? M-38? inland Empire, CA $1800

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB), M-38, MB This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Listed as a 1943, it has rear floaters, but also has an MB/GPW body. The grille tilts, but the hinges are reversed. I suspect it’s an M-38 body on a WWII chassis.

“1943 willys Jeep

2 Flattie Bodies and Suzuki Chassis Lodi, CA $495

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, CJ-3A, M-38 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $495. Great price.

(08/08/2018) Seller wants to sell. Seems like a good price for the high person.

https://sacramento.craigslist.org/pts/d/willys-jeep-bodies-with/6680079486.html

“I have a 1948 willys jeep body
1952 willys remanufactured body
A samurai rolling chassis with axles , transfer case , steering box , samurai steering column and driveshafts
1948 willys jeep frame
two windshield frames
Two hoods, tailgate, gas tank, and
one seat
Box full of gauges headlights instrument plate
My original plan was to put the 1948 body on the 1948 frame using the drivetrain from the samurai chassis. The 1952 remanufacture body was to be used to replace the floor and patching. Would be a killer deal for the right person.”

1951 M-38 Payson, AZ **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: M-38 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Year? M-38 Thessaloniki, Greece No Price

• CATEGORIES: M-38 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Murray, I tried to email you, but your email address came back no good. Can you email me at d@ewillys.com and I will send you the info.

A seller named Φίλιππος Κερενκιώτης near Thessaloniki, Greece, let me know that he’s got an M-38 for sale. It’s a project, but it does include the proper paperwork.

He contacted me via FB, so if you are in/near Greece and interesting in this, I’ll hook you up with him. Maybe this is a good time to take your significant other to Greece?
