Huntsville Legion Carrier Identification
Guys,
Our team member Matt is chasing down the proper decals for our MkII Huntsville Legion Carrier Project. I'm working on the vehicle identification decal and I need some help please. On this carrier, the symbols on the top edge of the front upper hull plate (driver side) have been damaged. Using a brass buffing wheel, I have been able to extract the following numbers: CT 266389 2 7 194_ Ford 34232 - which is the vehicle serial number? Now, on the angle iron reinforcement, (commander's seat) I have: CB 23253 - which I am assuming is our hull #? On the rear upper hull plate angle iron, commander's side, is stamped 23226. Is this just a part #? I would appreciate everyone's input as well as an educated guess as to the year of manufacture. Thanks very much! |

e-mail sent. Good job Rich. Now you can paint on the correct CT registration number. However, you need to clarify the serial number, which I wager does not start with the numeral '3', but instead see if it is a "2".
Year of manufacture? I believe Monday, February 7th, 1944 is close enough. |
Bingo Michael R! I walked back out to the carrier and looked more closely. It is a 2 with the lower part of the 2 chipped away. Thanks very much for helping us complete the identification of our Legion carrier.
Cheers! |
