Vehicle Description
STK 3931 1951 Willys Jeep M38
The Willys M38 was introduced in 1950 as a post-WWII military Jeep
based on the CJ-3A. An estimated total of 45,475 units were
produced. The 1/4 ton 4�4 M38 was known as a light tactical
vehicle. It was the successor to the Willys-MB, but with numerous
improvements. M38s were fitted with many military-specific features
including a one-piece windshield, tow hitch, gas can and a driver's
side fuel filler. M38s had larger 16" wheels, a stronger frame and
much heavier suspension components than the civilian CJ-3A
version.
This 1951 M38 is in overall very good original condition. The
'Camo/Drab Green' paint was resprayed in 2006. It shows well, but
there is minor surface rust in a few spots. Factory wheels mount
nearly new Specialty Tires of America all-terrain bias-ply tires.
The spartan interior, also refreshed in 2006, looks just as you
might expect with the exception of an aftermarket gauge package in
the dash. A 134ci 'Go Devil" flathead 4-cylinder engine, said to
have never required a rebuild, sounds great. It has recently
received a major service including plugs, wires and distributor
cap. A new carburetor has also been installed and electrics utilize
an alternator based 12-volt system. The factory drivetrain
configuration is a 3-speed manual transmission mated to a Hi/Lo
Spicer-18 2wd/4wd transfer case and brakes are 4-wheel hydraulic
drum. This M38 Jeep does not have a top or side curtains. Become
the next owner of this classic Jeep M38 and have some fun. ALL
VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
