in the while i have a couple more question  :
First, I stolen this pic from the net, can you help me to locate where to look for this kind of label in the car?
Second: long time ago i have seen some pics from (if I remember well) a Canadian Museum showing a CDN M151a2 (between many others) on display with what was defined as "a canadian ingenuity winch" made with two cylinders applied to the rear wheels and a rope.
Anyone can help me to locate the museum and tell me if it was an official standard CDN device/transformation (also drawings and instruction would be fantastic informations).
 I thank all you in advance for your invaluable help. |
All of the Canadian M151A2's were build by American General with bodies produced in house. They also all had Emissions Controlled Engine/Fuel Systems. The body tag in the photo you attached won't be found on your A2. Those were unique to Ford/Willys/Kaiser built M151/M151A1 and early Ford A2s. There was an AMG applied foil body tag behind the fuel lines along the transmission tunnel next to the drivers ankle. I have never found one on any of the tubs that passed through my hands. The only time i've seen them is on a replacement body where there was no Serial Number Dataplate. Regardless, the numbers on the foil tag aren't actually the same as the Mfg Serial/VIN Number on the Dash Dataplate, but rather some internal control number for AMG. Although the "Muttguru" in England can tell you lots of info with a Budd or Freuhauf Body Tag, i'm not sure he can do the same with the AMG number. At best, the production date, as the Canadian Forces did not use Hood Numbers like the US on the M151A2. So, when it comes to an AMG M151A2, the Serial Number on the Dash Dataplate is crucial to determine correct history. If the original is gone (and most were removed and destroyed), then the only hope is that the CFR is painted on the body somewhere or a Tac Sign is visible.
The "Unstuckers" are a legitimate tool for the 1/4 ton "Jeeps". They can be found for sale from time to time around here.
