Odd M38 Corners

Post by Chucks_toys »

Has anyone ever seen any corner covers like these for an m38? I removed these from an m38. Thanks, Chuck

Just another reminder folks to limit your photo file size to 125K. I reduced the above photo from 325K to 56K and lost no necessary detail in the process. We need your attention and help here to keep the wasted band width use to a minimum. Wsk K site administrator

Chuck,

Several questions:

Which was driver's side? A or B. Which end was at the top of the tub? flat or pin?

Wes, the antenna mount was on the left and the pins were sticking up. B was on the left and A was on the right. Sorry about the size of the photos Wes.

Then this is the way they were positioned originally on your jeep.

Yes sir, that is how they were on the jeep. You are probably right about the top, because the top of the brackets were not painted gray. As if a top was on them when the jeep was painted.
