CFR Request Thread

[Casey B]

Hi Scotty never met here or otherwise but you seem to be the man for the job and was told to ask you these questions about my M38A1's. One may be easy the other not so much. Seen!
So as I am new to this forum and to this part of history I would like to know how I can go about researching the history behind the two M38A1's I just bought?
The first is a 1953 M38A1 CDN from CFB Chilliwack (running) CFR No. 53-32490 with matching Sn. F200512
The next is a 1967 M38A1 also from the same base (not running) CFR No.67-08045 Sn. 7105-97312

Rob love advised me to post so here it is hoping someone Scotty? may be able to help shed some light on these? Thanks Casey

Casey,

Can't help you with the 53 as the Database doen't cover anything that old anymore.
The info for the 67 is correct (ie, the CFR is correct for the Serial Number you provided) and it did in fact come from CFB Chilliwack.

Hi Scotty Thanks for what you did get to me it may help ICBC to aid in the insurance as they have no clues sometime as to where the vehicles ever came from!
Thanks again Casey

I should be back into the detailed Database this coming week. I'll expand on all of the CFRs that I gave basic info for earlier as well as respond to the new requests.

[302Trooper]

Scotty,
I copied the data base for the M100 trailers that you or someone else had posted. I highlighted my 2 trailers and filed away the list with my other info. I was looking over the data base list to find that Fruehauf Corp was the manufacturer of my CFR 53-70177 trailer and Motor Coach Industries Ltd is listed as the manufacturer of the majority of the trailers. My data plate states Motor Coach Industries as the manufacturer. Would you or anyone else be able to shed some light on this information.

Thanks
Dave

There is not a whole heck of alot of info on this one in the Database.

What I could dig up was that your Jeep originally belonged to Base Transport at CFB Chilliwack and then later went to 15 Fd Regt (RCA) prior to disposal.
