Junkyard Rescue: 1953 Willys M38A1 Army Jeep!

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

4 wheel locking wheels! At no extra cost. I see a lot of work ahead, young man. BAM! It will be fun to drive when you're finished.

They made it a little hard to load. Later on all the brake drums were smashed loose with my BFH!

Big Project, Good luck with it, I'll be watching

[@Raydawg]

I love it, When the time comes please make videos of the jeep project.

[@QuickSpeedShop]

When I get to it there will be a whole series on it!

[@robbkiker6861]

I love to see old iron resurrected but that is a lot of work! May be best to let that one rest in pieces......

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Its only metal. I've saved stuff this far gone before.

Bro I have done the same thing. It took me and my dad about 3 years to restore it. I really enjoyed working with dad on this build. It was the last jeep I got to build with dad. Take your time on the build and you will have a great jeep.

[@QuickSpeedShop]

I worked on a few projects with my Dad that I will always remember. Those are good memories.

Hi Steve Rudy

[@ml5554]

Nice video, u probably have some perseverance with such a project! I own one (Dutch army version) great stuff.👍

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Thanks. I like fixing up old rusty junk.

[@dannyilaya8432]

F-head is called “Hurricane “ engine benefited from high compression ratio because of a long stroke and a valve in the head.

[@upscaleshack]

I wouldn't call 7.5:1 "high" compression. Higher than 6.5:1 in the Go Devil but not high by today's standards. The stroke is also the same as the flathead Go-Devil.

[@OUTDOORSSWEDEN]

Awsome!

[@ronslaughterandalice1018]

The thing about those ( if not mistaken ) have parts made by a lot of different manufactures.

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Not sure what you mean, but aside from the 24v electric system and military lights and switches they essentially the same as civilian jeeps. The repop parts support is amazing these days.

[@bushelfoot]

That water proof box is the voltage regulator.

[@williamsmith8041]

I have the same jeep,it has the L head engine in it

[@QuickSpeedShop]

These only came with the F head. Someone must have swapped in the earlier flathead.

[@williamsmith8041]

[@michaelyoung3337]

How much did you end up paying for it?

[@QuickSpeedShop]

$700 which was probably too much, but it has some local history.
