I'll have a look for it tomorrow as well as for one other guy who requested it.
Clive, I have sent you a PM about your idea.

Your truck was CFR 74-09782. It had the standard ECC of 121401 and the ERN was 30105 which was also standard M151A2. It was aquired on 1 Jan 1974 (likely the contract date for the fleet as all of the mutts show the same date) and the last unit listed for it was ASU Gagetown. It was listed on a VMO for disposal on 27 Aug 86 and was listed as disposed of on the 14 Jan 87.

I thought that I had posted this earlier, but the internet here is very dodgy so I guess my response ended up in cyberspace.

.....apon disposal, it ended up at simpsons truck and tractor parts at five fathom hole, n.b. was then rewelded and sold to a chap at lake utopia, n.b. where it served as a snow plow. then it was sold to a gentleman from grand bay, n.b. where it was used as "outback transportation". when it went forsale the next time, i bought it, and floated it home to maces bay with the intention of restoring it. four years here and off to live with scotty in trenton. this completes the history of this well traveled m151a2.......the littlest hobo of military jeeps, so to speak! mike

Rob,

Sent the $5.00 to DND ATIP and have already had a telephone conversation with them. I am waiting to see what they send. I also did a second request for the service and usage history of my M38A1 67-07800.

Don't forget to duck.

Clive

Thats great news Clive.

I actually couldn't believe it when I accidently found that the Jeep CFRs were still protected and the data available on a DND website. Should make a lot of future collectors happy when they ask: What unit did my vehicle serve and what would have been it's original number?

Default M151 a2 sn

My M151 A2 is CFR 74-09235, sn 44004 uncut

It was used in Calgary 1974- 1985 1 CMBG HQ Sigs Sqn & CFB Calgary
1985 CFB Suffield
1985-1987 CFB Petawawa
It still retains its original three patter camouflage.

Probably the nicest platform in this half of the country too... (I hope my jealously doesn't show)

Default Tom Lodge's CDN3

Rob
My buddy Tom Lodge has an M38A1CDN3 for which he would like to know the correct hood number - if you still have time to research it.
The details he has are:
NATO Stock no. 2320 21-856-9412
Ordnance stock no 121301
Mfr No MD 99994 Del 12-70 Jeep Corp Toledo
Contract No 2MEO 0058
Engine No D143273

The current restored hood no is 70-99994 but this must be wrong? Should it have been 70-08994?

Could you also give further details of the book by Iarocci - where it can be obtained.

Thanks

Andrew's book on the Canadian Jeep is sold by Servicepub. It is on epay regularly, and I bought my copy at HobbyHouse on Montreal Rd in Ottawa. It does not break down CFR numbers, or 'hood' numbers as you ask.

To find out more, do a $5 Access to Information Request to Department of National Defence. I knew the CFR for my M38A1 CDN3 (70-08876), and some vehicle history thanks to a sympathetic civilian employee at Base Transport in Ottawa. For confirmation, I requested VMO information and maintenance records. The second was a long shot, and not available.

My request asked for "Copies of VMO messages for: CFR 70-08876 (Truck 1/4 Ton SMP M38A1 CDN3) Serial number 100xxx, ECC 121301, ERN 30104, previously held by UIC -124 CFB Tonton; acquired 01 Jan 1970, disposed 22 Oct 87, HN 22 Aug 88."

In due time a copy of a message form arrived giving my Jeep's last official ties to the CF. There were 7 older and 21 newer Jeeps sold on that message in May '87. A 1967 pattern Jeep would be ECC121201; a 1970 is ECC 121301.

Here is a little teaser for you, if the CFR is 08994, then the year will be 1971 not 1970. A vehicle 71-08993 was listed on the same VMO as mine.

I have access to the same means as Rob for pulling the CFR info. If Rob isn't able to answer shortly (he's pretty busy these days), i'll pull it up next time i'm at work.

Mfr No MD 99994 = CFR 70-08652
The ECC is the standard 121301 = TRUCK,UTILITY,1/4 TON,4X4,M38A1CDN3
The other records indicate that it was disposed at CFB Petawawa on 17 Nov 1986 = DISPOSAL THROUGH VEHICLE FLEET REMARKETING SERVICES.

Just a side note. As Rob had noted somewhere on MLU, when it comes to M151A2 and the M38A1CDN3 (maybe others too), the Mfg Ser Numbers and the CFR that they were issued have no alignment whatsoever. An example is that the Serial Number right before his has 66 other CFRs separating the two.
Mfr No MD 99993 = CFR 70-08718

Enjoy

Scotty
