Morning I just had a quick run over to 19 Wing to check your numbers against our M43. Turn out your truck is only 15 trucks away from ours. Here's the stats.
Contract # CDMR511160
Build date 5-6-52
Serial # 91400953
Model# T-249
Ord Code # 2606
I suspect that it's a Canadian truck alright and was just turned over to the US when they were here looking after their missile program.
Hope this helps.
Rob
PS. I was in such a hurry that I forgot to look at the shifter. I'm on my way to Ontario so I won't be able to look at it for a while!!
