My M38A1 ia almost done...for now

Post by Deadguy »

New leaf springs, shackles, and eyebolts. New wheel and Kingpin bearings. New shocks, New tie rod ends. New horn switch, steering gear box, and wheel. New gauges (except the voltmeter). New pitman arm. New wheels and rims. Large frame rust repair. Deep water fording kit.
Sitting in my closet, I have a 1954 military turn signal upgrade and cab heater, amber lenses for the black out marker lights, a new passenger side taillight for the turn signals, and a full winter enclosure from Beachwood Canvas. Correct Data Plates, battery boxes, extra side mirror for the passenger side, under hood shovel, short handle ax, and probably a few things I've forgotten also await in boxes. I'll post up some pictures in a few days hopefully.

Sounds good. When you you get it together and drive it the first time, that's called phase one. Then you go back home fix, adjust and try again, that's phase two. The better you are the fewer phases! :lol: When you are out driving, keep your eyes open--------look for your next model Jeep project! John

Be carefull of letting the canvas top sit for to long in a box. Canvas can shrink over time and may not fit properly.

It's been sitting about a month. The jeep is down the street at a shop on a lift getting a new transmission/transfer case/overdrive combo put in it. As soon as I get it back, I'll be fitting the canvas on. Thanks for the advice.
