M38a1Cdn2, M38A1Cdn3 and M151A2 CFR range

[Retsarge]

Hi,
On the American M38A1 jeeps, there is a data plate located on the wheelwell directly behind the passenger's seat. Is there also supposed to be one on the Canadian Cdn2 jeeps as well? If yes, how does it read..Kaiser..Willys.. or what? Thanks

On a Cdn 2 it was Kaiser of Windsor. I likely have one floating about in the shed, I'll confirm today.

Rob,
If indeed you do have a data plate in your shed, and it is a spare, and you are willing to part with it. I would love to put one back, on my jeep, and fill an empty spot. Let me know how much you want for it, and I will send it to you. Thanks

There was a fellow at a OMVA show in Ottawa two yrs ago with a whole library of different blank data plates. I think it was Brian Asbury.

My 1967 M38A1 Cdn has SN 7105-97372 with a of CFR 67-08105. It was a signals vehicle in Petawawa, then Kingston. I have the holding unit history only.

According to the copy of the page printout there should also be a
modification history, rebuild history, vmo history, work order history, ECC history and CFR No history.

My M151A2 is SN 44004 CFR 74-09235. It was used as a signals vehicle in Calgary and then moved to Petawawa. I know no other data for this vehicle.
The original data plate has the contract number printed onto it.Therefore if you buy a repro plate you will have to stamp this in. These are avilable out of the USA. I do not beleive that Brian Asbury has these in stock.

I also came across a photo of an M151A2 with a CFR of 63558, which i drove at CFB Valcartier. I beleive it was a Montreal district pool vehicle or a Black Watch (RHR) of Canada Unit vehicle.

It had the 5/4 ton style tires on it rather than the US non directionals.

Thanks
Eric

Hi,
The data plate that I was talking to Rob Love about, is the one that goes on the wheelwell behind the passenger seat. I have a blank spot there on my jeep, and need to find one to replace it....Let me know if anyone has one. Thanks
