Howdy,
I have a 1953 M38A1 jeep that has been a project of my brother's for years and never got finished. I acquired it a few years ago for various reasons. Now I'm looking at getting rid of it. If anyone you know is interested please call me at 979-204-6267.
Preciate it, Jan Tullos

$1500

I knew it wasnt a m38a1, but i posted what the seller told us.

That's a CJ5.

How can you tell from those pictures? Looks like a M38a1 to me. It has the correct body features.

[85cj7]

I thought a m38a1 had the different windshield frame and flat fenders. Where is flem, he would know for sure.

looks like the right grill and a 76 or newer windshield.

tempting....

I spent 10 minutes looking on google and from what I saw, I couldn't tell the difference between a 53 M38A1 and a 54 CJ5.

how can you tell the difference in windshields? Did all of the earlier windshields have the seam down the middle? I saw the earlier jeeps had the wipers on top rather than bottom, but i couldn't tell which this jeep had in the pics.

[robertf03]

they moved the wiper motor to the inside and changed the angle for 76. that makes it require a 76 top and doors too so you can run a supertop and not a tigertop

[robertf03]

my bad, thats not a 76 windshield. its got no wipers at all

That's an M38 you're thinking of. An M38A1 is pretty close to a CJ-5 in most details but fairly small ones.


M38A1 production began in '52-53. CJ-5s were civilianized M38A1s and didn't come along until '54. Most of them from this era tend to be bastardized from all sorts of different eras partswise though.
