Maltes,
Understand your pain.
In the process of putting on my top.
Built the bow to windshield rods Sunday and am having problems with my doors.
As I figure out my problems I will post here...good luck!

LOL, yep, been able to go home almost every night since I orderd the new top...and wouldent you just know it...the week the top shows I get sent out of town...dang the luck!!!

Wes,
Do you have a length for A and B.
I should have took measurements of mine before I left.
When I was test fitting the frame it had a large gap between the top of the jeep at the rear of the door, but the bottom looked to line up ok, so did the front top and bottom.
Thinking I may need to add a ...

got my new top, had questions about the rods, but Wes alredy coverd that from the previous post, thanks Wes! :)

now the next question is doors, does anyone have demensions for those? mine appear to have been modified. it might be as simple as cutting and welding to make them fit the new skins, but ...

Rick,
Yep, I feel like I stole it!! But the guy I got it from was as happy as he could be, I just think he was dreading loading it and hauling it off.

Zane,
I was wondering about the radiator, it didnt look right to me, but I am just now pawing over the parts. There is a 5gal bucket full of nuts ...

Wes,
I showed my wife your reply, it’s the first time she smiled since I told her I was bringing it home!!

I will email Bob, did you get the survey for my M38? If not I can re send it.

Just bought this, couldn't stand to see it scrapped. Got the motor, trans and transfer case, all three seats, and several wasp nests!
The head is cracked, and one of the pistons is a mess!
Story goes...the guy gave it to his son, it was rough but running, got a leak in the radiator, eventually ran ...

I live in the country, left over oil is a good thing... soaking fence posts, preservative for the barn, ect.
I work in the city, oil is an expense, disposal/environmental problem.
I like the Idea of the option, depending on your situation, paper filter, or oil bath.
Either way, you have an antique ...

Looks great!!

My data plate lists 5qts, not sure how much I put in, I buy oil by the gallon and go by the dipstick.
Don't know if you need to, but I do put some oil in the cannister before I put the top back on.

My M38 was in the movie "Kent State” filmed in Gadsden Alabama around 1980.
It was not a star, just an extra, and it was also part of the lighting crew. They filmed mostly at night (campus not busy) they mounted lights in the back of the M38 to light the set.

In the workshop tinkering, put the bow brackets on, bows won't slide in. loosened the bolts and they do slide in.
Working with aftermarket brackets, and what I believe to be the original bows.
Feel sure you guys have run into this before, do I put a spacer between the brackets and body, file the ...

Preping for my new top, just got the parts to mount my bows, wondering if there is a drawing on mounting locatons, it is a M38, cant find any existing holes. I bought the entire kit from DeBella, stowage and all.
Thanks.

My M38 is "copper".
My boss told me as long as I took all the trash from the job site I could have the copper, that is where I got the money to start rebuilding the motor/brakes. So, all my buddys call it "ole copper"

Just found out about this. Plan on taking a few bucks, and a few pictures!
