Actually it's more of a degrade to your 2A then it is an upgrade. The M38 used it and the M38A1 only used it for 2 years (till 53/54) then Willys built the radiator and grill mounting the CJ way thru 1971. The M series jeeps with the hinged grill had two "Z" shaped rods that mounted through the front engine mounts and slipped into slots on each side of the radiator. You can't tilt the grill untill you seperate it from the radiator and the fenders and disconnect the front lamp wiiring. I find it a lot simpler to pull the 2A grill and then the radiator and 3A grill with the radiator attached then I do the M38 and A1 tilt arrangement.
