    The tub is M38A1, the grill appears to be CJ, and the front fenders are replacements or 71-up pieces.

    I thought they might be fiberglass. The lines on the front/ lower edge don't look like factory..

    Sixty...what.....8 or 9 windshield frame. Low glass and bottom wipers. Where are the shackles on the front springs? Front or rear of the spring? Gas tank under seat, right? Looks like a mix of parts.

    That windshield frame appeared for early '68 models.

    The round indent was for a electrical plug. This was used to jump start the 24 volt battery's. Most M38a1's didn't have the electrical plug.
