Loved the painting my dad’s RAF unit had their Jeep stolen in Belgium during the war so they just went out and stole someone else’s and re numbered it.

Красота в простоте. Это память о 2 мировой войне и к нам в бывший СССР приходили эти Виллисы МБ . Один такой Виллис был в качестве штатной машины у Маршала Советского Союза Г.К.Жукова и эти машины возили военачальников.

My dad had a '52 with the hardtop and heater mounted between the hood and windscreen. It was a Canadian military version. Man did I love that thing.

@jimmckim3565 8 ай бұрын

That would have been an M38-CDN, manufactured by Ford. The M38, or MC, was the Korean War era successor to the MB, though there were so many MBs still available no M38s ever made it to Korea. I have a US Army M38 with an original Willys hardtop. No heater, nor signs of anything being mounted in front of the windscreen, but that would have been standard on a Canadian model. M38s were based on the CJ-3A but had a waterproof electrical system, a special carb with no accelerator pump but a dash mounted primer, and numerous exterior "spotting" differences that make it easy to differentiate from any other model from just about any angle.

@jimmckim3565 8 ай бұрын

@@michael007ish I don't know about logos on the parts. Willys didn't mark theirs (data plates only), and parts on my 1953 Ford F-100 don't have Ford markings like I see on my '97 F-150, where EVERYTHING seems to be marked. I had a '77 F-150 for awhile and don't remember seeing logos galore on it, but that was over 25 years ago and I didn't have it all that long. Don't know about the Ford-built GPWs for WWII, either. If you still had that puppy, it might be the rarest of the rare for Jeeps - the M38 had the smallest production numbers, and the CDN version only a small fraction of that.

I have a 43 Willy’s MB that my Dad gave me shortly before he died lil over 20 years ago. I am planning on getting it together next year finally. It won’t turn out as nice as yours, but should do pretty well. I’ve got spare engine, trans, xfercase, and assortment of other components. Running wise needs a carb rebuild and the rear axle needs a little love. One of the windshield panes was broken and the sad part- I had the same top as you do. The original doors were gone and someone made some out of galvanized sheet metal. But I didn’t have room to store the top so had to let go of it. There’s just nothing like a good ol flat fender. And you might notice my other toy in the pic to the left. I have to get it redone before the Willy’s. Need it for abuse so I can just put in the 43. Hope you enjoy yours!

He stated in reply to another comment that it's been fitted on it in the '60s. I snooped around, apparently it's called a "boston top", so if you happen to get your hands on another willys you can search one up if you want an hardtop

This top is what you’d see on a M38 from the early 50’s. It’s called a Pentagon Arctic Top.

@jimmckim3565 8 ай бұрын

@@AlsGarageRestorations Not quite, or necessarily. My 1952 M38 has an "Arctic" top (name was never used by Willys) manufactured by Willys (data plate riveted to inside post) and has the Army's numbers stenciled on the rear top, so it would have been in service. It's very similar to yours - at first I thought identical - but there are differences: single pane windshield with rounded corners (just like differences of standard folding windshield) that is gasketed in place (does yours fold out?), rear panel with window is fixed in place (I think - mine has been modified to open, but I've seen them fixed), and there are a lot more fasteners at the top and bottom edges of the side panels on yours than on mine. Interesting to see yours - from a distance I would have assumed it was the same as mine. Great job and video, BTW.
