Check The front Left frame horn on top right behind the bumper and there should be a number. If it is there it will be a good start to trace more info.

Hi Brad,
If you post or PM me your Ford serial number and the date of delivery there is a chance that someone in the past documented this M38CDN when the CFR was known. It is common for the front left frame rail to be welded or damaged from a snowplow or winch installation making the CFR impossible to read. In addition, early M38CDN jeeps of the first few hundred Ford serial numbers generally did not get a stamped CFR on the frame. This presents a dilemma because unless old paperwork (like your ownership or original Crown Assets bill of sale) or a relict stencil on the body are recoverable then the CFR is lost to history. There is no relationship between the Ford serial number and the CFR number. Perhaps someone with uncover an army document that lists serial numbers as well as CFR's for the early 1950's vehicles. ....Brian

The sin is 1404 from what I know it was bought out of red deer alberta about 25 years ago, it had a hard life of 4x4ing then got ripped apart for a v-8 conversion, thank god most the stuff that was hacked off can be fixed, it will need a lot of work and probably even more parts lol but in my mind it's worth doing especially for a ford nut like me
