First time Jeep owner of any kind and new to this forum, too. Have always wanted a Military Jeep and recently purchased an M38A1. Years back someone tried to turn it into a CJ-3 or 5, gave up and the next owner started to put it back to M38A1 condition. Gave up and it set in a barn for a while. Gentleman I got it from did lots more work (including a new tub) but then his interest turned to other areas. When I got it it came titled and with the original Willys Overland ID plate stamped "MD 182XX" on it. the title says it is a 1954. I was wondering if this year correct for the MD number?
The first of my many questions.
Thanks,
jetjock

JJ,
Check the downloads section. There is a database of M38
serial numbers. Might be one for the A1's as well.

Welcome to the party!

Wes K,
Thanks for the info. My research was indicating it was more of a 1952 mfgr than a '54.
