I have often wondered where the CFR cutoffs were for the 3 jeep fleets from the late 60s to mid 70s. I happened on a source for the info, so here it is:

The M38A1Cdn2 (1967/68 model) ran from 67-07700 to 68-08499, which coincides with the production numbers commonly acepted for the Cdn2 of 800 units.

The M38A1Cdn3 (1970/71 model) ran from 70-08500 to 71-09095, which would account for a purchase of 596 units. This also matches the figure given in Andrew Iarocci's recent pamphlet on the M38A1 iin Cdn service.

Lastly is the M151A2 (1974/possibly 75?) range which runs from 74-09096 until 09860. This only accounts for 764 units, and differs significantly from the 935 quantity given in the M151a2 data summary. If anyone has evidence of a different block of CFR numbers used on the M151s, let me know and I can verify it.

I am currently in a position to look up the applicable CFR to serial number, or vice versa I can supply a serial number to go with a CFR in case anyone needs this info for their Jeep restoration.

I could take the time to manually write down all 2000 or so numbers, but I may skip the M151s since 98% ended up as scrap.

See the things a guy will look up when he gets bored.
