Need more info. I don't have a parts manual easily accessible right now, so here is a picture from Wes's album (this is an M38 frame, but basically the same - has the same parts)

Are you talking about the rear crossmember (rear bumper), or the v shaped braces? I know you can buy the crossmember, but don't think I've seen the support.

Matt, I would guess he wants one of these parts:

Longest member is rear crossmember, WO# 800605 (both), next longest is reinforcement WO# 801695 (Both) and next longest Plate, reinforcement, rear WO# 800815 (M38) (805515 (M38A1).

The "V" shaped structure is Frame reinforcement rear WO# 800814 (M38) and 805518 (M38A1). I suspect the difference lies in the intermediate crossmember and/or tub attachment.

That's what I was thinking Wes. But since you found the part #s, it looks like he is looking for the Frame reinforcement rear WO# 805518 (M38A1) per the thread title.

Yeah, I don't think I've seen them for sale (or maybe I just haven't been looking for one).

JR, you are probably going to have to get one cut off of a scrap frame. I have a frame that I am getting ready to scrap that I could cut the part off of, but I wouldn't know how to ship it.

JR,
Put your location in your profile so folks have an idea where you are located. A person nearby with a scrap frame would be more likely to offer help if he knew he was near you.

Daryl Bensinger carries these for the GPW and MB. Probably the same part number for the M38 and M38A1.

Or try Midwest Military. Johns parts in my opinion are as good as OEM.

It is a common part and even Jeep Draw probably has the drawings to have a local metal fabricator make them on a press brake.

They differ between the models so procurement will have to be the correct part for the M38A1.

Wes K - whats the trick to posting pics?

wesk · Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2014 8:52 pm Post subject:

JR,
The pic must be hosted with a public URL. You click on Img above the dialog box and [img] will appear then copy and paste the URL for your photo after this. Then click on the Img again and this will appear at the end of your URL, [/img] Voila photo posted.

Jeff, I got your pics - only looks like the driver side is bent a little. Is this correct? Do you have a closeup of the rear section?

Here are the 2 pics Jeff sent me:

Got ya - I sent you a couple of pics of the part I have. Mine is in a little better condition - I won't charge you any extra for the bubba bracket that's welded on it!

Sorry Wilfreeman - I'm an uber beginner and that one is a little rough for me. I can use the one for an M38 that a few folks sell with some minor modification - just was hoping to find one specific to the m38a1 - surprising that nobody make a replica considering I have seen a few folks looking for them. - thanks anyway - the search contiues

No problem - good luck with your Jeep. Post some pics as you go!
