Well I can now say my M38A1 project is almost completed. It has been a long 5 years of working part time and weekends. All that is left is to finish hooking up the radios and adding a fusible link for it in the battery box.
I would like to thank all those folks that have helped me along the way. Five of my friends in March of 2004 with a pickup and a trailer hauled all these parts back to my shop. The body was almost a goner but with new floors and parts off of another M38A1 it has come together.
I knew nothing about these Jeeps but with the help of the internet and the websites I caught the Jeep disease. I now have two other Jeeps waiting for me to fix them up and an M37 as well. I will be searching for parts at Aberdeen in May. See you guys there.
