We live near 169 hwy and Englewood in the northland, less than 10 min from downtown KC. However, we are moving to Dallas in about 2 and a half weeks. My wife got a job transfer. We can't take the M38 with us right now. She wants me to sell it and buy one that is restored later on. Not sure if I will ...

Well I tried. Sorry to report that I have no idea what my hood numbers were. Very slow (literally hours) and careful sanding with 800 grit did not work on my hood. I think the problem with my particular jeep is that the 3 coats of paint it has over the original paint were all brushed on and tough ...

how to find hood numbers under old paint

I tried to do some m38 archeology this morning. I am just sure my jeep has beautiful USA and hood numbers under all of the brushed on paint on my hood.I tried to sand off the top layers on the pass side carefully, but it didn't really work like I thought it would. There is nice original od paint ...

I didn't even notice the download section, but there is a lot of great information in there. And with all the diagrams, I noticed there are a lot, a lot of small parts that make up a jeep. The diagrams and part numbers were especially helpful and in short, the parts I am looking for are the same on ...

M38 vs M38a1 blackout lights

I have been looking at NOS blackout lights and parts of lights for my 51 M38. I bought a repro bracket for the one on top of the driver's fender, but am trying to find an authentic new light. There seems to still be a lot out there, but most of it looks newer or at least the packaging is newer. I ...

Photo galley request for jeep project forum. Thank You.

Also, never posted pictures before and not sure how to tell if my pictures are less than 500KB. I have an I phone and I mac computer. Maybe I can lower them down in resolution if I need to, but any thoughts on this matter would be appreciated. Thanks--Scott

I will try to have my wife help me post some pictures of the Jeep on here. I took some pictures of it with my phone when I bought it. But getting them from there to here is still above my skill level.

My wife does not approve of my covert army jeep purchase, but I think she will come around ...

Scott's new old M38 project in Kansas City.

I bought an M38 on Craigslist about a month ago, and then I told my wife for Christmas. It is the actually the 3rd one I have owned and started to fix up. It is better than the other two I had, mostly because it is still 24 volt stuff, and it is not rusty. The people I bought it from owned it since ...

m38 and m38a1 axles/drivetrain question

A while back I parted out a nice but disassembled 1952 M38A1. I still have the axles, transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, steering column and leaf springs. I found a 1952 M38 frame and body tub. I know the frames themselves are different, but I'm not sure about the rest of the components. Is ...

Is MD Juan and Omix Ada the same company?

I am looking for a new gas tank for my 51 M38. The only brand I have seen is by Omix Ada. They are red oxide in color. I don't know if they are the same or different from the MD Juan gas tanks posted here. I've seen new gas tanks ranging from $350-$550 from different suppliers. Are they all the same ...
