I'm not scared of a simple little jeep
Ouch! I thought when I bought the M38, "I've helped Dad restore his WW2 jeep, so how hard can it be?" (yeah, right!).

Good luck with your jeeps, and don't worry when you wake up in a cold sweat from jeep-based nightmares. We all get them. :mrgreen:

It appears darker than US issue M38A1s

The color is RAL 6014 flat.

also some nice links:
Nekaf in Classic Military Vehicles -July 2010

for the next side you need to register and it is in Dutch, but it has lots of info about the NEKAF.

GPA -- Pics would be very much appreciated ! Oilleaker1 -- I'm afraid Green Disease will be a lot like Black Rifle Disease (collecting AR15s), which I already have. I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind yet another potentially expensive and time consuming hobby... :lol: Nic -- The reason I thought it might be a bracket is that it doesn't move....looks like the fuel pump will need a rebuild. Thanks again for the pic offer ! I really like pictures ! RICKG -- I'm pretty sure it's the angle, as I didn't notice it being different in wheelbase / configuration from the others. Evanso1975 -- There's probably a lot of truth in your post ! It's funny, I haven't really done any work on them yet, so my dreams about jeeps have been pleasant.... so far :lol: Ed -- Thanks so much for the links. Just this evening I was asking my wife about her best friend's husband....who was originally from Belgium. I'm hoping he speaks Dutch (not sure what they speak in Belgium), so hopefully he could lend a hand with translation. Thanks again to everyone for the warm welcome !

optical dillusion, I'd say as its end panel seems to be solid with a spare tire carrier. I think M-170 had a tail gate and carried its spare next to the passenger side seat

Some areas in Belgium speak Dutch, some speak French. The two areas tend to intensely dislike each other too! I'll actually be over there for a week next month.
