 Posted: Wed May 10, 2017 8:16 pm Post subject: M38 Radiator Question |
 |
|
| I have a question that I am hoping you can help me with in regards to the radiator assembly. I have found an overabundance of CJ2A radiator assemblies out three but the M38 ones are hard to find. Are these interchangeable (minus the support rod brackets on the sides)? I though one from a CJ3A would work but it does not seem to have the more angular profile that I found in your book. The CJ2A version does but I am not sure how correct it is. If I refer to the Kaiser Willys catalog they list an assembly that is for the MB, GPW, CJ2A, and M38. Although I cannot afford to make this M38 a 100% restoration job I still want to make sure I am getting parts that are going to work with my M38 and not be grossly out of whack. |

| Where would I find a M38 radiator? I look at Kaisey Willys and they say the one they offer works for three other Willys models plus the M38. I dont see it at few other places either. Hmmm |

Nothing against Kaiser Willys; but some of their parts are compromises for different vehicles... I have purchased parts from them and Walcks and gotten a suitable sub in their minds...
I hate to say it but I watch eBay and see them there at times...

Not hijacking here but I am curious is someone has purchased a new replacement radiator and welded on the side support rod brackets? It seems easy enough to do. The original M38 radiators were three row correct?
