M-38 CDN made in 1951
Hi Brian. My remark about the unknown exact number of jeep is for 1951. At least 35 were received in 1951 by the Canadian Army since mine is stamped with that number. The back plate for the data plates has 4 holes. My dash had only 3 holes and none was threaded so it seems that there was never any data plates on that jeep. I know it because I had to drill 1 hole to add reproduction data plates.
Thanks for explaining the production difference between Ford Canada and Robert Grieve.
Below, the photo of the CAR number 51-30035 and of my M-38 CDN (1976 frame-up restauration, still almost stock excepted for 12 V conversion, the addition of the Ramsey winch, double PTO and Warn overdrive).
