CJ3A has some on the left and on the right side.
What happended to the M38 if the chassis was filled with water?
Does he also have outlet holes?
I can“t have a look on mine, I have a CJ-Body :cry:

Thank you for info

I am not sure what you are describing. The M38 chassis (frame) although boxed in the front and a couple of places aft is still open at the ends of the boxed area and allows quick draining.

Sorry Wesk for my inexplicid wording. What I mean is not the chassis but the body... :wink:
The drain holes in the body...on the CJ-Body is one at each side...M38 body is closed...

Wes, correct me, but the M38 has drain holes in the floor - driver's side and passenger. They have wing-shaped metal flanges that can be rotated open or closed. Those act in the same way as the permanently open cut-outs on the CJ3Q body.

Yep. If your M38 has no floor drains someone has modified the floor panels.
