My new to me M38A1

[JB]

I bought a 1955 USMC M38A1 this w/e. Plus enough parts to build another. The jeep has been sitting for @ 5 years but I think we should be able to get it running. It was owned by a retired NG Sgt that was in charge of the local motor pool. He owned it for years and took good care of it. No rust through or dents anywhere. It does have a civy top but I think he used it so that the original mil top would not get destroyed in the woods.

The first vehicle I ever drove was my Dad's M38A1 so I thought it'd be good to get & keep this one.

Great pics of your new ride! What are your plans for the Jeep's future?

Restore to Marine Corps configuration my daughter just turned 1 so by the time she can learn to drive it may be finished
