50K mileage would likely be right, although the speedos were prone to breaking and not everyone would roll the new odometer to reflect the cumulative mileage.
Militia trucks tended to only go out on a few long trips per year, and this would vary by where the training area was in relation to the unit. I saw many M38A1Cdn2 sold with only 35,000 miles on them after 20 years service.

Scotty or Craig,
I just got the title to my rig in the mail. The Iltis itself is due the end of this week. Could one of you check out my CFR? B1101-11-84-86109 I'm curious about where she's been and what she's done. Is there anyplace to buy replica CF license plates? Tom A in Colo Spgs USA

DND plates
As for license plates you could make your own, although that is probably illegal. A friend works at CFB Kingston and said that the DND plates are not stamped and that the numbers are merely stickers applied to the plate. He has had trouble in the past with U.S. customs when entering the U.S. with his service truck from work when on business. The U.S. customs don't like the idea of DND plates on a vehicle that doesn't fit the appearance of a typical military vehicle.

That, sir, makes things a lot easier. I found several places that print the CANADA and numbers on the plate instead of emboss. The "CANADA" and edge striping should be black, right? I was sent a sample this morning done in red. On either side of "CANADA" at the top, aren't there two 25x30mm flag stickers? Edit: Here's #2 that Platemeister sent me:  Tom A in CS Last edited by T.

Heres a site that gives some good images of CF Licence Plates:
Canadian Military Series Plates WRT your CFR, i'm still a few days away from regaining access to the DIN, but if someone doesn't answer you before that, i'll dig it up. Scotty

Scotty,
Now I know where Platemeister got the image, right from that site you posted. The Maple Leaves on the top, are they embossed onto the plate or printed? Platemeister was going to print two maple leaves onto 3M reflective media, but, I think that would cause camouflage problems in the field. You guys deployed with these plates on the vehicles. If he can print the maple leaves that should be good enough. I wouldn't expect them to make the embossing die unless there is sufficient demand for replica plates. Most of the vehicles were surplussed with the plates still on, right? Should I start a separate post in the Restoration section about DND plates? Same plate design would be used for domestic M38s, M151s, Iltis, etc. Canadian Forces in Europe have a different plate.

Canada plates
Hi All,
I have a couple of Canadian military plates in my collection that are different than the one you show in the thread.Mine has "DND" stamped in the top of the plate with 2 maple leafs stamped in as well.  The other plate has a "CANADA" tag riveted ofer the "DND" portion of the plate.Anybody know the history and era these plates had compared to the other plate shown in this thread?  Thanks, Derk.
