M38A1 CDN2 - Winter Project
Over the past couple of evenings after work I have been preparing my winter project ('67 M38A1), and today was sort of the "kick-off". I now have two main pieces, a few boxes of parts, and some other things scattered around.
The last time I pulled my '53 M38A1 apart was in the early 90's, and surprisingly I remembered most of the process. I plan to sandblast or otherwise prepare everything for repainting and go through everything to reassemble a nice reliable jeep. I will post photos and lots of questions that I have (and likely a bunch of requests for parts...) as I go. I expect to be running by spring. Wayne

Seems like a good winter project. The last time I had my M38A1 CDN2 looking like that was 1989, I think it's time to redo it, but I have a few other projects ahead of it at the moment. It will get a repaint shortly though just to give it a fresh look until I have time to blow it apart. Good luck with your restoration, I will be keeping an eye on the thread for inspiration to do mine.

Hi Craig. Yes its moving along nicely so far, and it is certainly a lot easier to make progress with all of the things you have already done (new fuel lines, brake lines, etc.).
I pulled a couple of the patch panels that were riveted on to the body, and I will be pulling a few more when I get to the body work. I was pleased and amazed at what I discovered underneath... but I will post on that later, when I get to the body work. I will followup with the paint details.

Frame - Body support
Does anyone know the reason for the difference between the right and left body support brackets over the rear axle?
