(10/24/2010) This jeep could use a bath, but appears to be a solid jeep improved for the street and trail.  Among the updates are free floating rear hubs, a tilt wheel and a full cage.

1952 M-38 Arvada, Co **SOLD **

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1875. It was listed on eBay

This has a solid looking body, though there have been a few mods to it (and the rest of the jeep).

“Well I’m sure no expert on jeeps, but this m-38 jeep was almost given to me by a friend. This information is just as I’ve received it from him.

This jeep has just sat idle in a car port for the last 5 years or so. First I will list the minuses as I see them. It has not run for several years. It needs  seats (but I have the base frames).  It will require whatever sitting idle for 5 years would require. (fresh gas, tune up, fluids, battery etc). I do not have a top, or a key.

Now for some of its pluses.
This Jeep had a v-6 Buick professionally installed some years back. The install looks as if it came from the factory. (nice Job)

This jeep was running and driving well when it was last parked. It has the military 5:38 gears, axe mount, and one run “dark light”.

This jeep is almost 60 years old and not rusty. The floors, bed, and body are excellent.”

Year? M-38 Hamlin, WV **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $5000.

(11/18/2010) This looks like a real good price for a solid restoration.  This might be a good buy.

“The jeep was brought home on a trailer completely taken apart / frame off was completed. Began project around 2001. I cut out all rotted k bracing and sheet metal in the floor, replaced it with new material and mig welded into place. Spot welds reflecting areas of repairs. Jeep has always been in a garage or under a shed out of the weather since I completed it around 2003.Where good salvage parts were available I used these when replacing other older or worn parts. What is M38 tubb, frame, running gears, right fender, hood and grill, m50 antenna mount. Deep water fording kit is nos. I purchased it in the original crate. Top bows are aftermarket and maybe the rear tire mounting bracket. Most of the other parts are good salvage replacement or nos where and when I could find them. At time of original rebuild all brake lines were replaced and master cylinder was honed and rebuilt. I made a home made wiring harness as I was not sure if I would make it a 24 volt system or not and wanted to get it rolling. All fuel lines were replaced as well. It was undercoated with a coating called tool dip which is a black mastic type of undercoating and is military surplus. Fuel tank has been permanently sealed in military aircraft fuel tank sealer, also a mil surplus item. All seals were replaced and where needed suspension parts were replaced with new when original rebuild. Seat cushions were purchased new from Beachwood canvas, includes 3 lowers and the upper rear. Front uppers are original spring type for that original fell and sound. Front canvas seat covers sewn by my grandmother. No covers for rear. Windshield frame and left fender are cj3b. I began installing the rifle rack mounting but it needs to be completed. The brake shoes and brake cylinders replaced only a couple years ago and the drums turned. The brakes will stop stand and hold vehicle in place. Comes equipped with Slectro brand locking front lock in lock out hubs Engine was pulled from a 1952 cj3b. I cannot remember mileage. It is a non smoker. I purchased the jeep locally. Before pulling engine from jeep I removed oil pan and cleaned sludge from oil pan installed new gasket and replaced. Had to remove thermostat as old one was sticking. The engine has operated great since and has never let me down. It has received regular oil changes The most Recent new parts include new NAPA Battery and sporting a new paint job Army Jeep Parts WW 2 semi gloss Korean era Inoperative are wipers , horn wired but not working, fuel gauge wire not reading right, speedometer in tact but no speedometer cable. No Turn signals or wire for them but have military turn signal switch mounted on steering column …..”
