Cfr# 70-08624
Dparker -
Might as well add this to your Jeeps background. Was checking on another CFR and figured you may want this.
CFR# 1970-08624
Serial No. 99836
ECC (Equipment Classification Code) 121308 Truck, Utility, 1/4 Ton, 4x4, M38A1CDN3, Cable Laying
Acquired Date 01 Jan 1970
Original UIC (Unit Identification Code) 0124 CFB Toronto (now dormant)
VMO (Vehicle Movement Order) No. DP358797 08 Feb 1987
Disposal date 23 July 1987
Selling price $1403.00
Last holding notice 02 Feb 1988
Holding unit history says that it belonged to UIC 0106 CFB/ASU Valcartier from 01 Jan 1970 to 21 July 1983. Seems to be a discrepancy here for the 01 Jan 1970 date of original UIC and this Valcartier date?
Work Order history shows only 2 visits of the 8 Correctve visits listed.
The first record is complete as of 07 Feb 1977. Work was done by Sect Ent 5e Bn Svc. The holding unit is listed at this time as Sect Ent St-Hubert UIC 2208 which is now dormant. This holding unit info also seems to be questionable. I'm thinking the record keeping may have been a bit lax somewhere along the line? 1970 to 1987 and only 8 corrective visits can't be correct. Also, the Trade codes that performed the work are 101 and 302 for a time total of 20 hours labor. These trades no longer exist and may have been amalgamated to another trade or the responsibility given to another one all together. As for what these trades were I have no idea.
The second W.O. is listed complete as of 26 July 1983. Work on this was performed by ASU Toronto maint section. 2 hours labor for a Vehicle Tech. (411). The UIC 0124 for CFB Toronto is listed as the Jeeps owner at this time. The odometer reading upon completion was 12656 miles.
That is all the available info I could gather - not as much as I would like to give you, but hey, it's likely more than what you had. Good news is it's a confirmed Cable Layer!
I don't know about web based photos of this variant, but I do have a document from 23 Jan 1959 from the "Army Development Establishment" in Ottawa that has "Restricted" prominately displayed at the top and bottom. It is called Equipment Characteristics Sheet For Truck, Utility, 1/4 Ton, 4x4, M38A1CDN Cable Laying Kit. I am pretty certain the 50+ year old info is not going to mean, that should I post it here, a dark colored SUV will be in my driveway shortly after, but....I am still hesitant due to my profession.
I will scan the photo and kit layout Monday and await your pvt. msg. should you care to learn more. Cheers,
Craig
