M216 Cdn
I have been fussing around with my GMC M216 Cdn 54-56169, even though it is not a viable restoration project in Australia, as the transfer case and the radiator were removed from it before I was able to take delivery.
I discovered on the top of the rear axle housing a rebuild tag, it states;
REBUILT BY
JAPAN ORDNANCE COMMAND
SHOP O O D
DATE 7 23 56 JO# 5 56
Does this mean anything, possibly a U S Army rebuild, or did Canada have a rebuild depot in Japan.
I am thinking of just tidying it up as a static display because of the rarity of the truck in Australia.
