UPDATE: Price dropped to $3100. A 1960 CJ-5 title has been pinned to this jeep, but it appears to be a 1952 or early 1953 based on the fenders and grille. This was listed in Georgia, but is now in Virginia.

===============

(originally posted May 17, 2023): This extended M-38A1 includes some early Husky hubs. Thanks to Tom for spotting it. It does not run at the moment.

Andy shared this find, which was previously listed in 2019. It’s an M-38A1 with an extended rear. We’ve seen a few of these over the years, but I don’t have much history about them. The half top looks like a sears branded one.

“This is not a CJ6! This is extend behind the rear wheel like a scrambler. It is a super rare military Jeep that even most military Jeep enthusiasts know nothing about. I put the cj5 half cab on it but it can be easily removed. The engine ran but hasn’t for years now. The floorboards were very rusted and have been cut out to be replaced. I have a military tub with great flooring to go with it that needs to be welded in. This would be a great project that would be well worth the effort because of the rarity of this Jeep. Call me at 54zero 66four39two 3 and I can give you more info about it. Last picture is of another one like it”

This has one of the extended rear bed setups. Seller has a second one (OD Green) that also has one.

“M38A1 it has been extended in rear…. battery box and slave receptical have been deleted.still has original motor and drive train just converted to 12 volt I’m not sure who did the metal work but it was not a back yard bubba job.. someone knew what they were doing and had metal working tools such as a bead roller to do the tool boxes. It was first air force jeep…then marine Corp then owned by fire department. I believe it was extended in the Marine corps or by the fire department I have seen several other Jeeps that look similar. Yes!!! It’s a m38a1 not a CJ!! It still has undercoating from the Marine Corps. All marine jeeps had this. I Have a title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.

Here’s another M-38A1 with the extended rear. It looks to be a ’52 or early 1953.

“I really hate to part with this project, but I just have too many. This is an original military type jeep but what makes it even more rare is that it was extended in the back like a scrambler for some special purpose. (not a cj6 because they were extended between the wheels and this one is extended in the back. As you can see it it has the military dash board, windsheild, front grill, cut out for battery box and heavy duty suspension and steering components. It looks like someone modified it at some point with a Buick Dauntless V6 225 and it ran when i parked it here.

It needs a new floor and i have another tub with a great floor that i was going to cut out and put in this one but never got around to it. This would be such a great head turner project with just some big tires and a great military type paint job or like with any jeep, whatever you can emagine. Call me to take a look at it. I garantee you will not find another one like this! Almost forgot. I have a half cab top for this thing so it could look like a pickup if you like.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

UPDATE: Still Available. There’s another example of the extended rear. See this post from 2014.
