for sale
Price: US $12,000.00
Price: US $12,000.00
I
acquired this M-38 in civilianized, abused, and worn-out condition. I have rebuilt all systems, including steering box and joints, radiator, transmission and transfer, clutch, axles and bearings, brakes (silicone), new wiring harness, correct 24V generator and
starter, all body work.
Body was not removed. Refinished
pioneer tools are installed. Five new repro-Firestone NDCC
tires. Recently installed restored original windshield with
complex vacuum wipers and plumbing (not connected). No rust holes. All surface rust treated and coated.
Seats are
Herculon (waterproof and super-tough) No top or rear seat
purchased. I reinforced wheel wells for sitting. Vehicle
painted with best Gillespie 24087 enamel.
Bed, frame, and
underbody protected with special O.D. rubber coating. I
installed a civilian fuel pump because the original military is huge, very expensive, troublesome, and difficult to service.
L &
R taillights are identical, wired in parallel, doubling rear night
visibility. Drives well 200 miles in 15 years. Many spare
parts and tools.
Restoration 2002-4. Includes nice 1951 gas can
Fuel
tank completely cleaned and restored, coated with urethane. Instruments all work.
Clear Florida title.
Somebody
rebuilt the engine before me, but I have had it apart twice for
various troubles and errors.
The
vehicle is marked for my assignment at Ft. Sill (1965). Many
other details when you see it.
