M38A1CDN Data Plates

[David Dunlop]

Yes, the M38A1CDN was built by Ford Canada. Not sure of the production run total but it probably started very late 1952 and ran into late 1953. I think the only facility they were still operating out of at that time was their Windsor, Ontario site. They did open a facility of Oakville, Ontario in the 1950's, I think, but I do not know if it was production or admin related.

For $9.95 you can have all of the answers to these questions by purchasing a copy of Weapons of War #20 M-38A1 1/4-ton Truck in Canadian Service by Andrew Iarocci. Or better yet, get your local library to purchase a copy.

Hi Retsarg. Search around on this site. There is a bit of Info on the 1953 M38A1's. Here is a link to some of the production information, however there appears to be some question about the records regarding the actual quantity produced...http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...8a1+production
