On a Cdn 2 it was Kaiser of Windsor. I likely have one floating about in the shed, I'll confirm today.

Rob,
If indeed you do have a data plate in your shed, and it is a spare, and you are willing to part with it. I would love to put one back, on my jeep, and fill an empty spot. Let me know how much you want for it, and I will send it to you. Thanks

There was a fellow at a OMVA show in Ottawa two yrs ago with a whole library of different blank data plates. I think it was Brian Asbury.

My 1967 M38A1 Cdn has SN 7105-97372 with a of CFR 67-08105. It was a signals vehicle in Petawawa, then Kingston. I have the holding unit history only.

According to the copy of the page printout there should also be a
modification history, rebuild history, vmo history, work order history, ECC history and CFR No history.

My M151A2 is SN 44004 CFR 74-09235. It was used as a signals vehicle in Calgary and then moved to Petawawa. I know no other data for this vehicle.
The original data plate has the contract number printed onto it.Therefore if you buy a repro plate you will have to stamp this in. These are avilable out of the USA. I do not beleive that Brian Asbury has these in stock.

I also came across a photo of an M151A2 with a CFR of 63558, which i drove at CFB Valcartier. I beleive it was a Montreal district pool vehicle or a Black Watch (RHR) of Canada Unit vehicle.

It had the 5/4 ton style tires on it rather than the US non directionals.

Thanks
Eric

Hi,
The data plate that I was talking to Rob Love about, is the one that goes on the wheelwell behind the passenger seat. I have a blank spot there on my jeep, and need to find one to replace it....Let me know if anyone has one. Thanks

Eric B -

Here's a bit more to add to that info you've already got on CFR 09235.
Acquired 01 Jan 1974 and went to 1 CMBG HQ & Sig Sqn until 15 Mar 1984.
15 Mar 1984 it went to CFB Calgary,UIC 0109(I forgot to check the actual unit).
On 19 April 1984 it was returned to 1CMBG HQ & Sig Sqn until 26 June 1984.
Once again it went back to Calgary until 16 May 1985. Same UIC as previously sent.
From 16 May 1985 to 26 July 1985 it worked out of CFB Suffield, UIC 0142. The last unit was in CFB Petawawa, UIC 0107. The disposal date is 13 Jan 1987. VMO No. DP357677 17 Nov 1986 with the Last Holding Notice 11 Dec 1987.
The Work Order History is dated from 30 June 1977 to 30 Sept 1983. The work would have been by Base Maint pers in Suffield and Calgary most likely, and by the Service Bn for 1 CMBG. A total of 38 corrective visits were accounted for in this period. A total of 12 Modifications were completed on this vehicle, but there is no info on what they were, just pub. ref. numbers.
Hope that gives you some more history of your truck. Cheers.
