M38a1Cdn2, M38A1Cdn3 and M151A2 CFR range

[jim fraser (RIP)]

hi rob.i was wondering if you or any body else would know where any of the cable laying equipment could be found.i picked up a cdn3 the other day and that was what it was.regards jim.

I was going to wait until I actually got my M38 home, but the prior post about this info being lost from the DND server got me to thinking that I shouldn't delay.

What I've got coming is a 1967 M38A1 CDN2. From the current owner I've learned that the CFR# is 67-08251 and ECC# is 121201. Apparently this jeep's last post was with 2 MP Platoon CFB Petawawa (the siren and flasher switch markers are still in place). I'm grateful to have rec'd this much info, but if some more blanks could be filled in that would be great. I plan on doing a drivable retoration of this jeep and would like to re-create it in one of it's original roles. I know that three-colour camo with MP equipment is one option, and I suppose as-delivered semi-gloss green with white CFR & ECC markings is another. I would be very interested to know in what other capacities this truck served.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for that Scotty. Am I correct to assume that because you "only have the "weak" EDR Viewer right now" , there is possibly more info to be had on my M38 stored on the dnd server?

Yes, there is another version of the viewer that drills down into maintenance records, Unit history, modifications etc. Much more detailed than the info above.

For some reason, I can no longer access it here in Gagetown due to some silly DND computer restrictions not allowing website "Plugins" to run. Ironic really, as its DND's own Database.

Thanks again. If you ever get a chance to access the more detailed unit info, that would be great. The more history I have on my M38, the better. If not, oh well - that's how the cookie crumbles. I sincerely appreciate your efforts to date.
