Hanno, I made the corrections. I called the one an ATT by mistake. I had a similar picture of one pulling a 6 pounder instead of the trailer.

Phil, the number that you posted is for a vehicle that never went overseas and as such is a different numbering system. I'm going to expand this to include all of the softskins so I'll post these.

F8 Serial No. 1G-6461 F*
Can somebody tell me when my F8, serial no. 1G-6461 F*, was manufactured and what the appropriate War Department CZ number I could add to it would be?
Thanks! Jim

Jim, it would have been manufactured in 1940 and the only F8 number I have is CZ4204797. That one would be 1940 too so pick a number within a few hundred and you'll be OK. This is the very reason why I started this thread. If you're going to use one of these numbers it should be about right. It's surprising how far out of range a lot of the restored vehicles are.
Click on the blue number in the top post and you'll have the picture showing the number's placement.

Ford
Jim, I might have the monthly Windsor Plant engine production numbers still, which wil tell me when Ford of Canada built your truck.
OTT that photo of the '40 Chevrolet has finally struck me after all these years as being a very rare shot. This is because it was either assembled at Aldershot (unlikely, as I thought that they were all Ford sedans or Wagons) or Southampton.There were several Chevy sedans destroyed in the bombing of the CMD in Southampton on November 30/ December 1 1940 and clearly this one escaped. It must have been delivered before the blitzing and thus with good timing. I believe that the Chevies were only shipped at the earliest in June 1940, and possibly a while later. Without checking I thinki the papers that I have ex-DND show that they may not have been ordered from GM until June. The location is not Southampton and I wonder if it is in the Bordon, Hampshire, RCASC Depot? I have seen that photo hundreds of times and it never struck me before.

David P,
Thanks for the info and the suggestion on the numbers to use. By the way, I believe that the CZ stencils are 2 1/2". I checked with Rick Larsen's site and he has 2" and 3". Where do I find the correct size ones? Regards, Jim
