I bought my 1953 M38A1 two years ago, after researching for a good buy for four years. I learned how to drive in a 1953 CJ-5 my father had as a business vehicle when he worked for a bank. He traveled throughout the country making farm loans and had to drive to very remote places, climbing mountains, fording rivers, etc. I went with him on many trips and this imprinted the value of a great workhorse.
While I was in the US Air Force in Europe, I drove an M38A1 to many isolated posts. It wasn’t a difficult choice to know what vehicle I valued and appreciated more, and to keep it as a tribute to my father, and other great life experiences. My M38A1 is dedicated to the 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles, many members whom I met while in Vietnam so it has their markings.

Very nice! My brother was in the 101AB so your restoration has meaning for me.
I just purchased a 1958 M38A1 that I intend to do a frame-off restoration on as soon as I finish my 1979 CJ7. What did you find most difficult with your restoration?
CONGRATULATIONS !!!
At last somebody understands what ORIGINALITY in detail means!!
Do spray the THE FREE WHEEL HUBS !!!
If you do not drive more tham 1000 miles a year do not buy them.
Very clean restoration. Great canvas top and sides.
I have a fully restored 1952 M-38 in full Army colors with a fully operational winch on front bumper. I plan to sell it. Wondering if you can suggest the best place to advertise it ? It is in VERY GOOD shape and super clean – runs great.
Thanks. lou cusimano
