Between some 12 hour days and the internet being down in the tent for most of the week, I seem to have missed out on the conversation here. One thing I might add to the "Cdn 3 hood number" query, is that hood numbers were more of an American thing, and while they did occasionally end up on the hood with the older Cdn 50s Jeeps, it was very in-frequent that they would be found there on a Cdn2 or a Cdn3. The "as issued" location was beneath the doors, and later not at all once the vehicles got their camoflauge brushed on.

Clive has, I believe, requested the complete CFR/Serial number data for all the Jeep fleets. Currently, the site we use to draw up the CFR/Serial can only be queried by the CFR. Hopefully, once Clive has the data, he will host it on a page somewhere showing both, or else list the data by serial to CFR, and CFR to serial.

Default CFR data

Just heard from home and it appears that DND came through with a CD. I have no idea of the scope of the response but I had asked for a list of all reently-released vehicles by serial number and their corresponding CFR numbers. My daughter is going to pack this up and mail to me so that I will have something to do in the evenings.

Well that ahould be $5 well spent Clive. How far back was "recent"? You may well have all the Iltis, 5/4 ton, and the various trailer data as well, including the bulk of the Cdn M100 1/4 ton trailers.

Finally came home for a week's leave and found the CD which my daughter forgot to mail to me!
It contains 442 pages of vehicle CFR and related VIN, all in a single pdf file. Included 5/4 ton, Deuce-and-a-half, M151, M38A1, M37, Ferret, Iltis, etc..., - even two Sherman tanks!
I don't have the time right now to convert this stuff into editable text and then into HTML but this is my intent. Oh joy.

Wow, 442 pages. Too much for one of your standard pamphlets. Maybe if you reduce the print down to a 2 font and include a free magnifying glass you can get it condensed enough.

How far back does it go? To the M38 and M38A1 Cdn? We will certainly be envied by the USA collectors that we have this data available to us.

Welcome back from your Island vacation. If the prosperous side of that island is any indication of how things are, then your side must have been terrible.

I will probably post the more popular vehicles on my web-site and offer copies of the CD to anyone who asks.
I am on one weeks leave and return to my island paradise on Tuesday. 3 months down, 6 to go.
