Default Jeep service

I have the following Jeeps I belive they are all CND and am wondering if anyone would know any of the service history of them.

1943 GPW Vin # 232461

1952 M38 Vin # F100574

1970? 71 M38A1 Vin # 99984 Delivered in Jan 71 so unsure of Yr of Manufacture

If anyone has any information on this could they email me at eddyw@sasktel.net Much thanks Eddy

Your M38A1CDN3 99984 was CFR 08757 ECC 121301 and it was disposed of out of CFB Moose Jaw in June 1986.

Ed, For the M38 CDN some important information would be the CFR number stamped on the top of the front left frame rail between the front bumper and the grill ( the format will be 52-3XXXX). Also on the brass serial plate there should be a delivered date MM-DD-52 and the manufacturer should be Ford of Canada. Often data plates were lost and replaced by surplus or repro Willys data plates. …. Brian

Moose Jaw was the supporting base for all of Saskatchewan, and the basic EDR viewer will just show Moose Jaw. The Jeep could have been in Regina, Saskatoon, PA, or Yorkton. It could also have been in Mosse Jaw with the Sask-Ds. If in Moose Jaw, it likely would have had the holes for the MG mount over the slave receptacle. .

Hello Ed

Did you mean 1943 GPW or 1953 M38A1?

A GPW with 232461 would be dated 1944. I have no history of this vehicle.

Thanks
Eric
