This 1953 Willys M38A1 is said to have been used by the United States Marine Corps at its Air Station in Yuma, Arizona, prior to being acquired by its long-term previous owner in Arizona, from whom the seller purchased the truck in 2024.
Subsequent refurbishment work reportedly involved overhauling the suspension and the carburetor, rebuilding and re-covering the front and rear seats, and replacing the canvas top and its supports.
Refinished in Desert Tan over Olive Drab cloth, the vehicle is powered by a 134.2ci inline-four linked with a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case.
The 12-volt electrical system features an alternator.
This M38A1 is now offered with a Florida title in the seller’s name.
The bodywork has been repainted in Desert Tan with white U.S.
