The replacement of certain assemblies, that is, engine, transmission, transfer, and power-take-off assemblies, winch assembly, front axle, rear axle, and steering gear is normally an ordnance maintenance operation, but may be performed in an emergency by the using organization, provided approval for performing these replacements is obtained from the supporting ordnance officer. A replacement assembly, any tools needed for the operation which are not carried by the using organization, any necessary special instructions regarding associated accessories, etc., may be obtained from the supporting organizational maintenance unit. 3. Forms, Records, and Reports a. General. Responsibility for the proper execution of forms, records, and reports rests upon the officers of all units maintaining this equipment. However, the value of accurate records must be fully appreciated by all persons responsible for their compilation, maintenance, and use. Records, reports, and authorized forms are normally utilized to indicate the type, quantity, and condition of materiel to be inspected, to be repaired, or to be used in repair. Properly executed forms convey authorization and serve as records for repair or replacement of materiel in the hands of troops and for delivery of materiel requiring further repair to ordnance shops in arsenals, depots, etc. The forms, records, and reports establish the work required, the progress of the work within the shops, and the status of the materiel upon completion of its repair. b. Authorized Forms. The forms generally applicable to units operating and maintaining these vehicles are listed in the appendix. No forms other than those approved for the Department of the Army will be used. For a complete listing of all forms, see DA Pam 310-Z c. Field Report of Accidents.

General. The $&-ton 4 x 4 utility truck M38 is equipped with one front axle and one rear axle, with four driving wheels. The design of this vehicle locates the four-cylinder gasoline engine forward of the driving compartment, under the hood, and provides a four-passenger, open-type body. The body may be inclosed with removable canvas top, side curtains, and doors which are held in place and supported by suitable metal rods, braces, and canvas straps. The vehicle is used as a general purpose personnel or cargo carrier especially designed for adaptation to general reconnaissance, command, communications, or other special duties. The windshield can be folded forward to lie flat on the hood for low silhouette and forward firing. The spare wheel and tire are mounted on the rear of the body. Suitable brackets and compartments are incorporated in and on the body for carrying equipment. The frame is equipped with a towing pintle at the rear and lifting shackles at the front and rear to permit towing or lifting the vehicle. General physical characteristics of the vehicle are shown in figures 1, 2, and 3. The terms right, left, front, and rear are established with reference to the operator sitting in the driver s seat. Right indicates the side to the right of the operator. Left indicates the side to the left of the operator. Front indicates the radiator end of the vehicle. Rear indicates the end opposite the radiator. b. Engine. Power for the vehicle is supplied by an L-head, fourcylinder gasoline engine, mounted at three points on cushion mounts on the frame. The engine, with accessories, is accessible when the hood is in the raised position. c. Transmission. The conventional three-speed, selective-gear transmission is mounted directly to the rear of the engine and clutch assemblies. The transmission has three forward and one reverse speeds as indicated on the shifting instruction plate (fig. 4).
