On the passenger side between the fender and door below the windshield of my 1952 Willys Jeep M38A1 is what looks like a place for a gasoline cap opening or something.
Victor, the seller, didn't really know what it was for. Obviously, neither did I.
I found out this morning what it's for through a Jeep enthusiast Facebook page.
Here's what was said about it:
That is the spot where the slave cable connection was (basically military jumper cables). Not a CJ5 if it has that, it is an M38A1.
Apparently, this is only found on M38A1 Willys Jeeps. It makes sense as the battery compartment (the opening is between the windshield and hood) is above it.
You learn something new everyday!
