Alex Blair used to have the Canadian manuals, but he sold the masters to someone else. Not sure who, but he is friendly ...
The first Cdn series was the 1953 prefix. Then the Cdn 2 contract was 1967 and 68. The last, but different enough to be a PITA was the Cdn 3 contract in 1970-71. These are not the same as USMC jeeps, even though there are some similarities. Brian Asbury is a good source for Cdn series parts. There are guys here with parts jeeps who will help out if they can. The tough part about markings and histories is most of those records have been purged. There are a few guys (other than parts guys) who have privileged access to military maintenance records. Be patient, but post your numbers on the other link mentioned above.

No kidding just back from the ICBC agent and while I did the search and thankfully came up with not hits on either of them...I now have to have them inspected...Another gouge out of the wallet and since one is well in pieces that will not work and the 53 that runs well it needs brakes and a lot of little things to get it to pass before even a registration! talk about rediculous...as we can't even insure them during this time frame...! Things have changed mainly they said because of the influx of the used japanese right hand drive things people are bringing in to canada by the boat load How about you did you have to inspect...?

Yesss I know the pain of the cash grab right to the....wallet LOL and you thought I was going to say B@lls ! ha well i made a last attempt to beg and plead and worm my way to a very nice sounding lady who asked me for the original forms that showed that Chilliwack actually and indeed did own the vehicle and sold it...I gave them that copy but like the provincial and federal gov's they really never speak to each other so one dept, one floor up does not have access to the file that I created and they are the next step in the insuring process?
So she actually said she would walk downstairs to see the file and the documents I have left there...wow! LMAO! so I am waiting with fingers and anything else crossed that she will accept it then it's a sitghting of the SN and viola I pay more money tax transffer and vintage plates! It's nice to dream and costs nothing to do so...LOL have a great day! I should move to HOPe cause that's where i am most days...? LOL
