As for the lazy E's, CFR#'s 09800,09849,09850,09851,09852 and 09853 were the only one's listed you may find marked accordingly. There are quite a few missing from the data base if the 935 purchase figure is correct. Again - great work. Your version is in much better shape than the one I saw that summer! Cheers.

Wow! Thanks for the very informative post. Do I dare ask where you managed to dig up the info regarding the CFRs? That definitely settles its history.

So it appears that neither of MUTTs were Lazy Es I've already shod it with 22 Fd Sqn TAC Signs and Call Signs. Hopefully no one will mind Its our little secret.

I picked up the one you mentioned from Mike M down in New Brunswick near Point Lepreau, although I don't think Mike had it very long, so there is a good chance you met the previous-previous owner. The mileage makes good sense. It had 26062 miles on it when I picked it up from Mike. Unfortunately, the body was BER, but the Power Pack was in excellent condition along with a bunch of other stuff. I ended up using the Body from the 1 Svc Bn MUTT and carried the Power Pack and other components over to it.

Thanks again for all of the information.

Sounds like the ones that were listed through the G503 website. Some were better than others, but all in all a good find. As far as I know most have now sold.

Those are probably the ones that are near Cornwall now. Rob, you and I spoke about them in email. I made an appointment and drove up and had a look/touch with them about a year ago. I think there were 5 sitting there when I looked. Most have a fair bit of rot in the back corners, but are un-cut. There was one that was very good, minimal rust, with some minor damage from being moved with a tractor. Owner also had a shed full of Power Packs and other parts that had come off of them. Politely put, the owner could not settle on a price, and then flatly refused sale by quoting a price both of us knew was in the Stratosphere. From what I understand, his business is about restoring vehicles for other people, and I was looking for a body to put my components in. After spending nearly 5 hours in the car to essentially settle on a deal, I was rather unhappy about the situation. Sadly, fully exposed sitting in a farm field, especially with everything un-bolted from them, exposing bare metal, i'm not sure how long they will last.

It killed me to know that those were sitting there while I tooled away reconnecting this one. At the end of the day, I just couldn't live with myself to dispense what he was asking for the relatively clean body.
