M38A1 CDN3 Mirrors

[rob love]

Well I guess one is never too old to learn something new. I think have the same photo as Ed, however mine is from 79610-21-848-1569 (operators manual supplement CDN3). It also shows the recangular mirrors on both sides of the Cdn3.

Unfortunately I don't have the CDN3 supplement for the parts manual. I had it in the past...no idea where than manual went.

WRT the CDN3 supplement pages for the parts manual Chris, those pages were located on the last 4 or 5 pages of the text in the parts manual. Have a look in there and see what it lists for the mirrors. It will most likely reflect a Jeep (65909) part number.

Those parts in that supplementwill be strictly for the CDN3, although in a some cases, we would retrofit some of those parts onto the CDN2 jeeps if it was an upgrade. The solid state turn signal flasher and harness was one we would commonly retrofit, although I think there was a mod instruction for that.

I suspect the only place you may find the original mirrors still on a CDN3 would be on one of the parade and ceremonial jeeps, as they were low mileage and not subject to the regular beating that any field jeep was subject to. The truck in Shilo had around 2300 original mileson it if I recall correctly.
