yeah I will slowly get it back to what it should be, its been inside since 04 and even with the mismatched parts the asking price was too good to walk away from.

no tailgate. I believe the previous owners just replaced with that they could find, not what was supposed to be in it. makes no difference to me, I didn't pay hardly anything for it and it runs great and the frame is solid.

down the road ill look into switching the dash back, right now I'm working on getting it mechanically sound and the small amount of body work done, I got an outrageous deal on this Jeep and can't wait to get her on the road but I'll keep that in mind when I start to put money into original...

Well thanks to your help MASH 4077 I discovered it is an M38A1! Best I figure was when the previous owners switched it to 12V they junkyarded a CJ5 dash and windshield. and Mash 4077 I noticed in your pictures that you have markings on yours, do you know the history of where is was assigned to...

Mine is 70910 the flash in my image makes it hard to read.

The shackles are on the back of the front springs, the cowl battery access was covered and smoothed over I noticed too. but the dash looks to be CJ5 which was why I wasn't sure. and it has the F-head 134 engine

That is really crazy! I will work on cleaning it up tomorrow, either way I am happy to have this jeep it was a great find I'd just like to know what it was.

I just found the tag on the passenger rear fender, lots of paint on it but it is an MD (a few unreadable numbers) 71481 and the slave port has a blank plate screwed in to cover the opening.

Those are all the pic's I have currently. I can take more tomorrow, I feel like someone tried to make it look like an M38A1 but not sure, I found numbers on the front of the frame 283R and that all I've found so far.

I recently picked up an old Rig which I was told was an 1954 M38A1. After buying and starting research I'm not sure as to exactly what it is because all other serial number locations are missing, please help me to figure out if what this should have been originally.
