Hi, fellows!

A friend of mine, who owns a Willys M38 jeep, is trying to identicate these pieces, outlined here in red:

Every time I looked at those items on my jeep I wanted to ask the same question. But when got back to the computer I would forget.
And now know.
Thanks

Roberto, I noticed in your photo a lock bolt welded to floor to hold the passenger seat down. I have one also, but is welded parallel to the tool box seam. I have often wondered if Bubba installed that.

Ken, that gate bolt is a common add to the M38 passenger seat. I can't find it as an offical MWO but had it on mine and have seen it lot on m38s I've taken apart.

Thanks Ken, good thing I didn't chop it off thinking it didn't belong there.
