Some years ago I purchased a new repo rubber WS/cowl seal from a repuitable supplier for my M38.. It is too ...thick...well made but just has nevere fit properly. I am tired of having to abuse the latches to try and get it to latch or unlatch.

WHO... has one that is NICE...and fits properly?

My M38 was made in September of 1950. It is serial number MC10036. Anybody close?

Yep that is early.

no title...the ad says..

I just finished rebuilding the second M-38 Carb using the other carb overhaul kit from MWM. I expected a poor fit of some parts..as in the first kit I used. This was not the case. The second kit...well...the parts fit well enough that it was an easy rebuild. I wonder why the two kits were/are so ...

Any tips on getting the douglas connectors to go together?
It just seems like it takes an unreasonable amount of
force to get the shells to engage. I've resorted in a couple of
places to grinding the connector slightly and am using di-electric
grease. Any advice??

Sopunds like you got a good bead ...

Do you have a photo of the underside of your toolbox showing the bottom of the forward lift ring location?

I should add that to the survey forms. I'll send you a revised survey form for your M38's.

Might be a bit rough to get a camera in there that would focus that close...what is there maybe 6 ...

Canvas or vinyl?

Unmolested is not the best description. Every jeep the military owned was molested by the military during the years they owned it.


Well yes that is true. My fuel tank had been "demilled" by repeated blows of a pick...4-5 holes all the way through the gas tank and the floor underneath.


There ...

My M38 came directly from military service to Charlie Miller and from him, totaly unmolested and (except for sitting in a storage building for 25 years) in the same condition it was released in, to me. The toolbox lid is the one that was mounted on my M38 when In got it.

My M38, is also serial ...

My M38 has no rotating latch on the toolbox door. It has two fixed d rings. My M38 is very early...however.

My M38 is in the garage. Here are a few I took of the MG mount this morning...

I have an M31C mounted in my M38.... Pics?

I have fired my M2 HBAR Browning MG off of it MANY times. It is quite solid.

Will a Carter YS carb from an OHV M38A1, engine... function satisfactorily on an M38 flathead engine and vice versa... ?

Now to mount it and give it a try...SUCCESS! My pea shooter flathead idles fine and seems to have good power.
