m38a1c question

Post by samned » Tue May 05, 2015 2:34 pm

I have a m38a1 that has had the rear panel cutout by a previous owner. The remained of the rear panel is in good shape and I am seriously considering making a m38a1c out of the jeep. I have found a windshield and I am wondering how hard the other parts would be to find. Also it the m38a1c more desirable than the standard m38a1.

Brent Mullins was marketing M-38A1C Jeeps, you may want to contact him to get a feel of what to expect.

I am building a M38A1C now. Finding the correct parts took a couple of years. Finding the 106 recoilless rifle was the easy part.
Also, I got lucky in that I was able to find a lot of the parts with one guy.
