You both have 7-digit registration numbers?

I thought they were all 8-digits by then (before they switched to the 2A XXXX format).

Heavy on the radio details and specs (that most folks don't understand unless you're going to a vintage radio show?).

But no details or specs about the M38?
Engine horsepower and displacement, gas consumption, top speed, gross weight, payload, etc. that most folks at a car show might be interested ...

Yes, especially if they did nothing to make it right.
How would anybody avoid the same pain you experienced if you don't name them?
If nothing else, give their address and folks can google it.

Glad to hear you got it fixed!

Spacers are listed in the M38 ORD9 on page 307 as G740-7375354 without dimensions.

The same spacers are listed in the M38A1 ORD9 on page 339 with dimensions.

The bolt size is listed on page 304 of the M38 ORD9.

Can they be made this cheaply? https://shop.midwestmilitary.com/product/jerry-can ...

Hi Chris, and welcome to the forum 1st post.

No harm to run the engine for a few minutes without belts to see if the chirping disappears?
Then install one belt at a time to see if one or the other is the culprit?
Or cut to the chase and install new belts?

Maybe experiment with belt tension loose ...

Hi Richard,
We can't see what you have so it helps a lot if you tell us what jeep you have (M38 or M38A1) and if it's stock 24 volt system or 12 volt.

It also helps giving advice if you tell us --- did what you have ever work correctly and then it quit?
Or it never worked correctly?

If you search ...

Thanks Mike, glad to do it.
I'm guessing Kyle thought the same thing and so decided he didn't need my scrap panel as a model.
Would've thought he'd let me know that.

Crickets from Kyle.
Looks like he changed his mind about wanting my carcass panel.

Available for postage if anybody else wants it.

Kyle,
Check your PM mailbox.

Kyle,
Without disassembly, I took a look at mine and believe the welded side panel must be on the left as you look into the glove box.
Red oxide overspray on it in my photo.
It forms a wall between the glove box and battery box.
I can't see all of it or how it's welded so didn't take any ...

Hello Kyle,
Welcome to the forum first post!

The glove box has two panels, a floor (bottom) and a side.
The bottom panel is bolted in place and the side panel is welded to the body.

Assuming you need the bottom panel because it commonly rots away.
The part number for it is listed in the M38 ORD9 ...

Yes, it's a big help when you take the time to look up the part number in the manual and tell us exactly what you want.

The closest I can find are these: https://www.mcmaster.com/92245A654/

But a phone call to John @ MWM, George @ AJP, Brent @ BMJP, or any of the other venerable military jeep ...

Curious --- maybe I missed it (because you usually photograph everything) --- what did you use for anti-squeak material underneath the gas tank?

Always a pleasure to see your work!
And great ingenuity custom bending a special wrench for fitting the fuel line elbow --- however --- that wouldn’t be necessary if the elbow was correctly located on the other side of the body hole (where it’s completely accessible from underneath the body).
