Geoff, I knew I'd seen that decal before but I was thinking of unit markings so I drew a blank. I wonder what the significance of it appearing on this truck might be? I'm posting this pic with the ruler so anybody who wants to use these markings has a size reference. I used Photoshop to combine the legible number with the legible maple leaf off the different doors. In the second pic I freshened up the decal. The decal on the truck was 3 1/2" diameter.
I've seen mention of the two number prefix of the door numbers standing for different units in the newer numbering system like this one uses so what does the 63 refer to?
This truck has the holes in the front clip for the heater but it doesn't look there was ever one installed.
