It's gonna be the same yellow as the wheels are just like it was on the flight line at Griffis AFB in Upstate, NY where it did it's thing 'til sold as surplus to the guy we got it from!

Is that the M38 or the M151? We tested them at Aberdeen Proving Ground MD. Nice looking Lab. Here's our Chow Sug, that's short for Sugar, she's now 7 months old. Hal

Try to hook up with Ray from out in Maryland who used to post here...he was restoring several of these too. Ray, are you still around?
 
Neither the M38 or M151. Earlier version than M38 but do not know the military version. Looks like CJ-2A as it does not have the high hood of CJ3B. M38 was equal to the CJ 5 I believe.
 
Too many projects going and too long since I redid the axles...they are Dana's...could be 20's
 
Cow's are so cool! I mistyped! It's a '52 not a '53...It's a CJ 2A...They were still usin' the M151s in the early '80s when I was in...they were testing HUMMVEEs when I was stationed @ Yuma Proving Ground in AZ in '82...now they are being replaced! Makes me feel reallllllly old!
 
We tested those Hummers too. We did the M1A1 Abrams Tank in the 1970's. Hal
PS: Here's the M38 when I was at Ft Bragg in the 1950's with the 82nd. One of my army buddies is in the seat and he lives here in MD and has an old Army Dodge ambulance.

Griffis is in Central NY. Upstate is where nnalert lives, you know, not more than 75 miles from "The City".
