Korean War M38A1's

[BCA]

My working theory is that Willys M38 and M38A1's that were purchased by Canada tended to have CFR numbers 33XXX (with either a year prefix of 51 for the 10/51 M38's or 53 for the 3/53 M38A1's). Ford M38's generally have a CFR number 52-30XXX to 52-32154 (highest one reported so far) while the Ford M38A1 were 53-3XXXX (lowest so far reported 53-32181, highest reported 53-32908). There are a few exceptions that may have been due to re-issued CFR numbers at the time of Workshop Rebuilds. ......... Brian

So could M38A1CDN1 33173 being unloaded in Norway in this 1970 photograph have been used in Korea some 13 years earlier?

Hello

The CFR range between CFR 33437 and 33527 are US produced M38A1's which were used in Korea and shipped back to Canada. They will have the US Data plate on them.

The one Chris use to own, but is now owned by Jason as indicated has the US data plate but is outside the range shipped back from Korea.

The CDN assembled FORD M38A1's as indicated by Brian have a 3xxxx number but will have a Ford of Canada data plate.

Any more us data plated M38A1's with a CDN CRF out there?

Thanks

Eric
