M38A1 Project

Post by AceJeep »

Hi fellow Jeep lovers! I out of luck have been given a M38A1, its not in the greatest condition, but no worries I'm a restoration tech. in ATL by trade so the repair will be a breeze, however my problem lies in lack of technical knowledge about my Jeep. I have owned many many TJ & YJ jeeps over the last 7 years, but never a older one. I see theres different variants of the M38A1 could you guys provide me with info so I can put her back together as she came from the factory- military. Im super excited about the build and your help. Thanks in advance!

Hey AceJeep,

A good place to start is the downloads section - all the manuals are there for your taking! After you're done with that, if you have any specific questions that you can't find answers for, feel free to ask away! It really is a wonderful Jeep, but don't let her fool you - nothing related to your 50 year old Jeep is going to be a breeze!
