    No video from me; sledding across the desert and running into cacti is not my idea of a good time...lol. Those shenanigans took place in my youth...in IL. -WRM

    The symbol in picture #2: is that a decal or paint? I'd be interested in seeing if there's any more of it left. The majority of things I've seen in that location (especially on former military vehicles) is the civil defense logo. For the loop thing, I'm guessing that's a bubba-mod; never seen...

    It's likely a civilian modification. It used coolant flow for the heat source and 12V for the fan. If memory serves, the military heater was usually on the driver's side. -WRM ETA: It looks like the M38A1 used an under-hood heater with an attached blower motor. Earlier models used an...

    Too bad you're half way across the world from me... Last summer, there was a local scrap yard that had a RUST-FREE M38A1 body (tub, fenders, w/s frame, all of it) for sale, but I couldn't find anyone to buy it. I doubt it's still there, but 'ya never know... -WRM
