How to tell the arctic enclosure made for the MB/GPW vs the one made for the M38:
How to tell if an arctic top is WWII? - G503 Military Vehicle Message Forums
Yours is the MB/GPW type.
Looks like a great find. Still has the blackout drive lamp bracket. Yes most WWII Jeeps that have lived outside have bad bodies, 80 years in the weather is a long time for thin sheet metal. Hope you can bring it back like you have with the 151s.
Well I have two, they are the same as the older ones, with the exception of having the coveted dual circuit brakes. And being newer. And having drop sides.

By far the easiest solution for a truck to be used around a yard is to go to a truck wrecking yard and get a set of 11r24.5's off something they are wrecking out.
Welcome! If you have pictures from back in the day of your M123/172 combo with D7 loaded up be sure to post ‘em!
If you still have fuel issues on your dump, check the fuel tank pickup tubes for rust holes. Common headache.
There is truth to this, I recall driving around in the late 80’s in a WW2 Jeep with a ma deuce on a pedestal mount and sure ‘nuf, multiple karens call the popo on us.
The M134 or whatever that is on the door mount is a bit much though.
