Back side. Mess of cables and tubes, you won't see much.

His panel is missing the circuit breaker mounting screws and wiring clip screws.

If these screws are not there, it seems that the board is made of M38A1, can you please confirm it to me, I don't know if I should buy it, thank you.

This panel in your photo could be M38A1 or M38 after sn MC65042 April 1952.

Thanks to Wesk, so it's suitable for the later M38 model, why doesn't the later model have these screws for fixing the circuit breaker and cable?

In the spring of 1952 Willys was busy dropping the circuit breakers on the battery box and the instrument cluster panel from production jeeps. It was determined they were not needed. MC65927 was the last M38 with the 3 circuit breakers on the side of the battery box.

The panel you are thinking about is a definite improvement over the one you have. Its too bad about the extra holes in your original panel, but what ever. Buy the one you are thinking about, replace the voltmeter with the correct ammeter (if you still have a regular regulator, not electronic). Actually it can all be overcome depending on what you want. My M38 has a one wire 12V alternator, but I wired it so it still uses the original ammeter.

In your panel, be careful with the temp gauge, it looks like it might possibly be a WW2 Dodge or Jeep and might be worth something.

My monthly income is $ 450 disability pension. Smile
Parts for the M38 are hard to come here, so it's a good price.
But for the money I save, I have to buy it.
