Thanks...I'll give it a good look.
I notice mine isn't on this version....

Admin, Wes, Ryan

Yes, that's the database.
Thanks!
As I said, I just have one page.
It shows there is a survivor with a serial about 580 before mine and another 87 after.

I'd certainly like to pursue the entire (redacted) document sometime, to see the known survivors and get a feel for ...

No, that's not the one I have a screenshot of, but it is useful.
You answered my question, serials began with 10000. I have found a lot of car serials seem to start at 100, 1000 or 10000.

I've looked around the web for a M38A1 serial database.
I found one but it says the database is offline.

A few years back, I saved one page that showed serial and hood numbers in an attempt to get a possible range of hood numbers based on known vehicles with close serial numbers. At the top of ...

I appreciate your experience, you have more Jeep seat time than I.

But for me , driving 35-40 on empty, dry roads and having driven Jeeps enough not to make sudden corrections, take turns too fast, or do anything stupid...I'm okay with my NDCCs.
When they need replacing, I'll certainly ...

A question...
You say NDCC/NDTs aren't real safe on paved roads at higher speeds.
But...with a top speed of 45, is that really an issue?
As far as driving in slick conditions, my Jeep being topless, I don't drive much in the rain.

I certainly wouldn't run military tires on my V-8 CJ-5, it had speed ...

Very nice, congratulations!

At first I thought it was Elvis.
There are nice photos on the web of him in Germany with M38A1s.

There is a really nice shot of him in the passenger seat of one reading a map with fellow soldiers from his Armored battalion scouting unit.
The Jeep is loaded for bear with ...

A good friend was a friend of the owner and is helping the widow with the auction.
His day job is an Automotive journalist covering classic cars, auctions, trucks and MVs.

He helped with the cataloging and description, his name is on the ads as the "...for more information " guy.

An easy way to check compatibility between an old Jeep and a modern Jeep.....the ORD 9 obviously won't mention the new stuff!...
Go to an auto parts store and ask them for the modern part #, then ask for a cross reference.... if it will fit your M38, the computer will tell them.

And if you are ...

For what it's worth, I just checked mine, which has all original panels.

I agree with the photo above...on the right of the photo, it is 1 3/4 inches from the fender seam to the beginning of the indentation.

From the top fender seam to the hole, it looks to be 1 1/2 inches.

Got it (finslly).
Thanks.

First, thank you for the photo.

Okay, I'm confused.
The buckle end of the strap has a loop where the metal buckle fits. It is sewn closed so the buckle isn't going anywhere. Three inches to the left (as seen in the vendor photos) there is another loop.
Beyond that (further to the left) the ...

What I have are these...

I'm probably misunderstanding what you are describing, but how can a sewn closed loop go through a footman's loop?

All the loop seems to do is create a double thickness of material.

It looks like the posted illustration, it is directly being the material hanging down after going through the strap.

Received mine from QTM, excellent service!

I installed them as illustrated and they look great.
Really helps "finish off" the looks of the vehicle.
However, I do not understand why the "loop" at the buckle end is there.
