Looks like a solid, updated M-38A1.

‘A solid M38A1. Can be restored to it’s original military form or used as it is. Been a hunting rig for years.
Not stock: equipped as follows:
Buick V6-12k winch-warn hubs-full cage roll bar- 32 inch wheels & tires-12 volt electrical system. Dual exhaust. Runs strong. Power steering. The left front fender kissed a pine tree-have an original M38A1 replacement fender for it. This baby doesn’t have to jump thru DMV’S smog hoop! Now isn’t that nice!
I own 2 other Jeeps just don’t use this one.
Oh yes, it’s all set up to tow, wired and tow bar tabs. All you need is a tow bar. I have one I can sell?”

Craig spotted this M-38A1 that’s been repowered with a Kubota diesel engine.

“1952 Willys M38A1 was brought back to life in 2015 after a two year restoration and modification was completed. Every nut and bolt was removed, inspected, replaced if damaged and reassembled to ensure this restoration did not leave any areas of the Jeep untouched. Two major modification were completed during the restoration. The electrical system was converted to a 12V system and the engine was replaced with a Kubota V2403 60 HP turbo diesel engine”

(04/26/2016) “1952 Willys Jeep/ M38A1 (former Military/early CJ) converted to Brush Fire pumper somewhere along the way. I don’t have much history on this vehicle. But, Drives great, pump disconnected for now, but does work. New Paint 2 years ago. (NOTE; PHOTOS SHOW FORMER UPPER HOSE TRAY, HOSE REEL AND TANK WHICH HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND SCRAPPED, REPLACED WITH SECOND SEAT IN REAR WITH MATCHING FRONT SEAT UPHOLSTERY) Now a GREAT truck for parades with the family or cruising the hills of California, or wherever. Fits in any garage!

Other details; Original 4 cyl Willys engine, transmission (3spd) high/ low range, 4 WD (though I’ve never locked front axles, all instruments work along with all electrical working.

History; I’m about the 3rd owner, purchased about 10 years ago from FF in CT. who purchased it from person in PA. As mentioned, definitely a former military M38A1 that was retrofitted as a fire pumper. Some base yellow paint on frame may point to it serving on air base or carrier? No other history known.”
