It's a place shame they're just rotting away right there.

Small trucking company in FL. This guy refurbishes Petes and Kenworths. These may be for parts. He takes in tired old trucks and turns some into moneymakers or showpieces. I think he won something for a cab over Pete car hauler at the 75 Chrome Shop show last year.
He might sell these yet. After all they “ran when parked.”

M-38 (produced 1949-1952), successor to the WWII era MB (and Ford GPWs made under license). MBs are easy to identify by having nine slots in the grill rather than seven (very early models weren't stamped yet and had flat stock slats instead). M-38 is very similar to the civilian CJ-3A, one of the ways to tell them apart is the cutout on the hood (hard to see at this resolution but if you zoom in you can make it out on the passenger side); they're also 24 volt systems and have headlight shields and different marker lights. Eventually it was replaced with the M-38A1 which is easy to identify by no longer having "flat" fenders, it was essentially the military version of the early snub-nosed CJ-5.

edit to add: I appreciate those who identified aircraft in this thread so paying it forward with military wheeled vehicle knowledge

I'm a helicopter pilot - loss of tail rotor effectiveness (LTE) at high density altitude. These guys were extremely lucky. Probably flew off to change their shorts.
