Congrats to your wife and welcome to Delmarva...........

Salisbury is a nice town and is probably 45 minutes from us here in southern Delaware. Lots of jeep related events during the year here. A major one is Jeep Week and is held in Ocean City & Berlin, MD every summer. We've been going to that ...

I've used these guys to recondition my M38 fuel tank a few years ago. They did a nice job..... the tank is now kept full of fuel and no problems so far.

My thoughts, exactly, Wes!!! Wonder if this was a prisoner work project and a limited budget.... free labor but the parts are gonna cost an arm and a leg! Wonder if they were just scrounging parts or if they were able to do internet searches for parts and more accuracy? I don't see data plates on ...

Dave,

Thanks,

Thanks for the ride!!!! That video is so good that it's like I'm along for the ride sitting right there beside you. :D And the jeep sounds great and looks like it's in exceptional condition.

My vehicle is a 51 M38 and I just found "PRICE 2039.94" in a 1" high x 11 1/2" long stencil (white paint) on the vent panel in the center of the windshield. Letter thickness was 1/8".

The jeep also has bumper markings from Aberdeen Proving Ground. Is this "price" number close to the actual cost of ...

Dana,

My M38 delivery date is 8/51 and it had the original army markings on it when I purchased it way back in 1976. The top of the star points to the grill.

I installed a set of Warn manual locking hubs on a '61 Willys CJ5 in 1970 and they were easy to install and worked great. I plan on installing a set of manual hubs on my M38 when I get to that point in the restoration.
