Looks like you have some research to do. If you are interested you can see my M170 project on willysmjeeps under the gallery page 5 rdsar2k...
Seats
It is a very clean Marine M170!
Looks like the drivers seat is installed on the passenger side and a M38A1 drivers seat is installed on the drivers side. Maybe it's a radio jeep version which might explain the lack of holes in the tailgate and the odd seating. I didn't see any stretcher...
Pic three looks like a drivers seat mounted in the passenger side over the tool box. No wait, is there a tool box under the drivers seat? I didn't know there was one located there. Now I'm curious. Do you have an overall pic of the inside?
WillysMJeeps.com
WillysMJeeps.com has most manuals in the download section. Gotta join the site but that's true with any. Free. That is a more active place for the M38A1 anyway.
Parts
Just thought I'd share my rescources for parts for the M170

NOS canvas top...

Re: RE: 1952 M170?

It has everything except the upper litter rack. Two stretchers were included and the canvas top & doors. In responce to the serial # maybe a 1955 it may also be using the M38A1 serial # sequence because the M170's hadn't been started. 1952 M38A1 were in the 11870 range in 1952. The title is...
Hello all
I am a proud new owner of a M170 bought from a friend. New to this forum also. I have a quandry in that this is suppose to be a 1952 model yet they were not built until at least 1953. I'm looking for feedback and opinions whether this could be true. The guy I bought the jeep from...
