M38 Serial Numbers

[J.L. Spurrell]

Hi Guys,

My great uncle purchased an M38 and he would like to try and do some sort of trace based on the Serial Number to try and find some history on his Jeep.

Vehicle # 51-33407
Chasis # 37378

Can anyone help me out so that he will stop bugging me. (lol)

Cheers

Jason

Jason -

I just had a look for anything I could come up with for info on CFR# 51-33407. The only listing is for 1997 850kg Cargo Trailer. The trailer when brought into service would have taken over the same CFR as the M-38 you were looking for. As for M-38's there are only 6 I can find info on and all were turned into Ceremonial models. The trailer by the way is in St.John's as are you I see...
Cheers,

Craig
