The engine numbers don't match the S/N of M38s or other Jeeps for that matter.
There are actually three windshield brackets involved for the scabbard. One on the right of the vent as mentioned, one on the left windshield frame and another one on the left that mounts similarly to the one on the right. _________________ '52 Dodge M37, '42 GPW, '48 FrankenJeep CJ2A/M38, '50 CJV-35(U), '51 M38, '42 WC-57 Command Car, '44 WC-51 Weapons , (2) M1941 Sperry 60" Anti-Aircraft Searchlights, John Deere M-gator, '44 White M3A1 Scout Car

Actually the MB's and GPW's jeeps built during WWII came with matching engine/chassis serials. Postwar Willys/Kaiser/AMC/Chrysler did not continue the program.
These are the three mount brackets in question. _________________ Wes K

The engine in the Jeep has 0 (zero) compression on one cylinder. Other 3 have about 100lbs each. A stuck intake valve we think. Will such free up or should we pull the head and have the valves machined?
I have had very good luck with flathead willys and dodges doing this:
Take the head off. verify you actually have a stuck valve.
Remove intake/exhaust manifolds. Find corks or stoppers that fit tightly into the ports in the blocks.
Fill the port under the stuck valve(s) with Marvel Mystery Oil. Let is sit, then see after a couple of days if you can get the valves to tap down (mind you don't tap it down when the cam is trying to hold it open use distributor rotor to determine). If they do, then bar the engine over until they are stuck up again. Repeat as required. It took two weeks of daily doing this on the last one I did, but they come clean and so far no recurrence. _________________ '52 Dodge M37, '42 GPW, '48 FrankenJeep CJ2A/M38, '50 CJV-35(U), '51 M38, '42 WC-57 Command Car, '44 WC-51 Weapons , (2) M1941 Sperry 60" Anti-Aircraft Searchlights, John Deere M-gator, '44 White M3A1 Scout Car
