Need help with box tag!
 

I discovered this tag while painting my box. I am going to restore the box
properly next winter but its going in a parade tomorrow. I was thrilled to find this; it had been heavily coated with paint so I made it legible.
Would this make my truck a 1941 model? Its is a C15A Cab 12.
Thanks for info
Terry

Terry,

This is the tag on my truck's cargo box. It was built by the Canadian Top & Body Corp. Ltd. of Tilbury, Ontario, Canada. The tag reads "42 03 2C1 7025", which I think denotes it was built March 1942, type 2C1, serial 7025.

Thanks Hanno
Here is a pic of my box I believe it to be a 2B1, is that correct?
Terry

Nice shop! :thup2:

Terry,

The box in the picture is indeed a 2B1, check with the list of types of bodies for CMP 15-cwt trucks from Gregg's "Canadian Military Vehicle Profile Series" - go to http://bcoy1cpb.pacdat.net/cmp_canad...ry_pattern.htm and scroll down for a couple of scanned pages.

Now, how do we explain the "2C" on the tag? Is it a miss-stamping?

Hanno

Location.....
 

.... where excactly was that tag located on the cargo 2B1 Box.......

Hanno Terry has a 2B1 box on a cab 12 so what model is yours..?

I have never seen such tags before ......... a lucky find !!!!

Any box tags I've come across have been below the endgate on the passenger side.

This tag is below the endgate on the left side and appears that the
rivets are original from the factory
