Default CFR data

Just heard from home and it appears that DND came through with a CD. I have no idea of the scope of the response but I had asked for a list of all reently-released vehicles by serial number and their corresponding CFR numbers. My daughter is going to pack this up and mail to me so that I will have something to do in the evenings.

Well that ahould be $5 well spent Clive. How far back was "recent"? You may well have all the Iltis, 5/4 ton, and the various trailer data as well, including the bulk of the Cdn M100 1/4 ton trailers.

Finally came home for a week's leave and found the CD which my daughter forgot to mail to me!
It contains 442 pages of vehicle CFR and related VIN, all in a single pdf file. Included 5/4 ton, Deuce-and-a-half, M151, M38A1, M37, Ferret, Iltis, etc..., - even two Sherman tanks!
I don't have the time right now to convert this stuff into editable text and then into HTML but this is my intent. Oh joy.

Wow, 442 pages. Too much for one of your standard pamphlets. Maybe if you reduce the print down to a 2 font and include a free magnifying glass you can get it condensed enough.

How far back does it go? To the M38 and M38A1 Cdn? We will certainly be envied by the USA collectors that we have this data available to us.

Welcome back from your Island vacation. If the prosperous side of that island is any indication of how things are, then your side must have been terrible.

I will probably post the more popular vehicles on my web-site and offer copies of the CD to anyone who asks.
I am on one weeks leave and return to my island paradise on Tuesday. 3 months down, 6 to go.

Only a week or so for me. Contract end dates seem to be somewhat ambiguous with the company I am with, but a couple days on the end won't make or break me.

I would be in for one of those copies when you get a chance. A national database of the SMPs for Canada is certainly a collectors must have. Now if they only had such records in WW2, imagine all the happy guys on this board.

Hi,
I'm new to this forum, my first post, so please bear with me. I too own a M38A1Cdn2.
Here are the specs on it: M38A1Cdn2, Serial number: 7105 96879, CFR 67-07832. I have owned this jeep since November 2005. It was in poor shape when I got it, but it has been rebuilt about 85-90%. I do have some questions.... I would love to know what military unit it was assigned to? Did it ever make it to cyprus like many other jeeps did? Also the engine block heater, on the front top,of the engine head got broke when working on the engine. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement?
Thanks Richard
