    Gizzard's M38A1 Restoration

    Here we go!

    The specimen as I found it in the wild. Ugly as hell but it spoke to me.

    Engine runs on a couple cylinders, and was able to crawl up on the trailer. But It had potential....came from a ranch in dry west Texas so rust was minimal.
    Data plates taking a dirt nap somewhere.......Did however find engine MB number and a couple serial numbers stamped on the top of drivers side front rail just aft of the front bumper.
    No idea for sure what year it was produced.....someone looked at the engine number and thinks its 55

    Got it home and went to work removing all the unauthorized junk. Had goofy parts hung all over it. Bubba was a busy boy.
