This restoration began in January of 2021 when I purchased this Willys 1952 M38A1, I call him Willy. I included a picture pre restoration to show where it came from. Originally I purchased Willy to be used on a new hunting lease that I recently joined. However as I’m a US Army veteran who served 5 years on active duty I decided to bring Willy back to life. 3 1/2 of those years I was stationed in the 10th Mountain Division. So for the front bumper markings I used my exact markings that were on my assigned vehicle during my years in the 10th. I also placed the division patch on both sides along with my service ribbon bar. Everywhere I take little Willy he turns eyes. I’ve even ran into veterans who used to drive these M38A1 and I love the stories they tell of what was involved to be qualified to drive these.
