My wife Joyce and I purchased the vehicle on the internet, driving to Denver Colorado to pick it up. I and a friend (Denis) did a frame off restoration building a make shift paint booth to paint the frame and other components prior to reassembling it. It runs like a dream. It is all original with the 24 volt system and black out drive lights. As a retired Colonel with 37 years of service the M38A1 reminds me of the many times I drove M38s in Viet Nam (1971 – 1972). During my tour over in Iraq (2003 -2004) we had the HUMVEES and I would have rather been in the M38A1 (other than the speed).
