    1952 M38 Recovery and Restoration

    I had a bit of free time today and was able to get the grill sanded down all the way and into primer. I still have to take care of the headlight buckets and blinkers but it was getting late and I was out of primer. lol

    That is an out right act of alcohol abuse!!!! What a travesty!!! That load would have kept Z's motor going for a year and he would have churned out 10 restorations LOL!!!:doh:

    Creosote?

    I use to work for Kopper's In Somerville Tx. At one point in time that plant was the largest of BNSF's rail road ties. The first thing is the smell, I'm sure you have all got a drop of gas on your shoe and got in your car and smelled it all day. Creosote has an even higher parts per million...

The weather around here is suppose to be bad all week so I'm prolly not going to get much work done and I was told if I miss my wife's first doctors appointment I won't have the equipment to make another baby.

    Stopped by to see the jeep today I can't stand not knowing what's what. Looks like I have the right E-brake under there and the T90-1 with a tag of 4-29-1952 on it. Other then that I'll leave it up to you guys this was the best I could do the jeeps up against a fence on that side so its hard to...

    I think you might be right Combst32 I certainly looks like it might have been a TOW.

    1952 M38 Recovery and Restoration

    So here is my first days efforts I only had a few hours to work before I had to go to work at my job. But I was able to get the front grill pulled apart and sanded down most of it, I was also able to pull out the bend that was in it. Still have some work to do on the back side but it's coming along.

    1952 M38 Recovery and Restoration

    Everything that I'm seeing online says the T90 was the correct transmission and the spicer transfer case every picture I can find of the trans looks like mine is there something your seeing that I'm not maybe? Here are a few close ups:

    1952 M38 Recovery and Restoration

    Lovely, So spicer didn't make the tranfer case? I haven't looked into much yet since I've been so busy at work. My boss seems to think that working 6 days a week is a good thing lol. It's not hard to think the tranny was put onto the cj frame with the engine so it might still "be here" just...

    1952 M38 Recovery and Restoration

    The "Daisey Duke" rims are gone as soon as I can get them off, right now they are of some use, as soon as they aren't we can work something out. There are only 3 of them not sure if that makes a difference, the combat rims I'm not sure what I'm going to do with yet. After reading about the MZ-2...

    1952 M38 Recovery and Restoration

    As you can see I've got a pretty wide era of parts, most of the M38 is there. The other stuff however is a bit of a mess. There are 2 MB tubs one however the front section was cut off and mated with a CJ2A front I believe judging by the embossed "Willy's" on the windshield and lack of glove box...
