    I am getting ready to order some parts for a Willy's Jeep that my uncle is working on. Attached are pictures of it, can ya'll tell me approximately what year and model it is? I am ordering a master cylinder, wheel cylinders and a temp gauge.

    Thanks again for the help. :D

    Better or bigger shot of the fuel fill and the grille. Also get a shot of the passenger side in front of the door opening... looks like an M38A1....

    Methinks M38A1 as Lynn said. Big gas cap. No tailgate.

    I don't have one of the passenger side, but here is a good one of the grille.

    Definitely M38A1. Sunken headlights, glove box on the left, split windshield and the CJ-5 ish body. They were made from '52-'54 in the US, but Canada produced them through '71 or so.

    It is a M38A1

    Many of the parts you are needing are probally available with your local auto parts store. Might order a according to what was used on a 55 CJ5 should be the same parts of what you are needing. I restored a M38A1 a few years ago and I have good luck with getting parts from NAPA and the other local part stores. And of course you can alway get them from the internet. I usually check the prices and get from the cheapest.
