1952 M-38A1 Centerville, TX $6500

This is worth a look. It's got the brake assist as well as the updates. Those front seats might be really comfy, but supportive jeep seats.

    1/2 ton? Did they beef up the axles, suspension and frame from 1/4 ton to 1/2 ton? Looks pretty good ?.
  2. David Eilers
    Good question! I am betting it is still a 1/4 ton.

    Sure looks like a CJ5 to me.

    This may be a CJ5 body on a M38A1 frame.

    The only M38A1 item I can find is the hood, OD with shovel holder, held on with bolts. I can't see the spring hangers very clear, might be M38A1 frame as David said. Nice Jeep, if title and registration are OK.
  6. David Eilers
    Yep, agreed. There is a lot of CJ-5 there.

    Elevated seat...Hunting Jeep? When living in (very) dry west Texas in 1998, the first Jeep I looked at was an early CJ-5 and it was so full of rust my Jeep expert friend, (who would go on to restore the CJ-5 I did buy), refused to have any part of it. So, so much for rust free Texas Jeeps. That could by why the M38A1 had a different body.

      John: Close enough to add a "hunting" tag ... and, yes, that could well explain things.
