Flip-1953 M38A1

Now that the JK8 is fixed, I started tearing down the donor M38A1.

The floor is beat, I’ll be cutting this one out and using the good one from Flip..

I also drilled out the lock on the glove box. I found a pile of love letters between a guy in prison and I’m guessing his girlfriend. They go back and forth about his up coming parole.

From what I can tell, the Jeeps plates expired in 99. She must have been putting these in the Jeep while he was locked up.

Little time today.

Removing the dash, I’m not sure what in the redneck hell this wiring is, I’m just glad it’ll be gone.

Check out the true waterproof plug on the head light switch.

I throw in a shot of how clean the original tub is under the dash. It’s to bad they let the rest go to shit. 🙄
