1952 M-38A1 Brownsville, CA $5000

Looks solid.

I believe that's the first M38A1 I've seen with the tandem hitch on it.

Here's something I didn't know. According to Olive Drab, installing it onto a front bumper was documented: "The Tandem Hitch was originally designed for the World War II jeeps, the Willys MB and Ford GPW. However, it will fit, without modification, the first two post-war jeeps, the M38 and M38A1. The document TB ORD 621 (2 Dec 1955) describes the kit and installation procedures for all of these jeeps. In 1955, the Federal Stock Number was 8-H-1826, and FSN 2540-735-8343. The installation is slightly more complicated on the M38 and M38A1 jeeps since the bumper is retained.

Yeah, I read that. I didn't know they used them that long.
