M38 Parts

Authentic Willys Jeep M38 Parts

The Jeep's legacy began in World War II—but the achievements didn't end there. In 1949, Willys started development of five proto-type M38s as the successors to the legendary WWII Jeep. This new model showcased improved technology, such as a 24v waterproof electrical system. Very few M38s actually saw combat in Korea (WWII Jeeps were the most common) but the M38s place in history is still very secure, making it highly sought after by many Jeep collectors.

For this reason, we have an extensive range of quality M38 Jeep parts for sale. Whether you need components for the brakes, engines, axles, body, or another area entirely, you can find them below. Don't hesitate to contact Army Jeep Parts if you have any additional questions about our selection of M38 Jeep parts for sale.

How a Civilian Vehicle Became a Battlefield Companion

The history behind each iteration in the lineage of our military’s jeeps is fascinating, as you know. But there is a case to be made that the M38’s origins are special, given that it was born from a civilian model that was itself the descendant of a military reconnaissance vehicle. To us, these are the most significant improvements and parts that first appeared on the M38 military jeep:

  • One-piece foldable windshield
  • Bottom-mounted vacuum wipers
  • Lifting shackles front rear
  • True deep water fording capacity
  • Mounted axe and shove (“pioneer tools”) on the passenger side
  • Bigger tires (7:00X16) NDCC design
  • 24 volt waterproof electric system with two batteries
  • Tougher suspension and frame
  • Heavy duty Model 44 Dana rear axle
  • Removable instrument panel

Using its civilian sister, the CJ-3A, as a blueprint, Willys sought to produce a battle-ready, water-fording vehicle that could withstand the punishment of war in a Korean theatre. To achieve that objective, the team behind the M38 equipped it to not only be a perfect fit for its wartime purpose, but – whether purposefully or not – they also gave it features that set the stage for the jeep’s next evolution.
