Been wanting a M38 for a while, going tomorrow to look at one I found, I know it's an early, said it was running when parked,

also stated it had no body filler, surely it should be worth $800, what do you think? Thanks Hambone

It's a start, if you buy it , be prepared to discover the majority of the expensive parts needing overhaul or replacement.
What did they do to the steering wheel?

Isn't that an original steering wheel?

Thanks Ben, I will get betters pics tomorrow, If it's in fair shape I think I will pull the trigger, I have a good 53 tub for backup.

Well I left it there, 1/4" bondo wipe, converted to 12v and a stuck motor just to mention a few, good catch on that steering wheel Ben, the steering housing was loose in the mounting.
