Thank you

What vehicle is this? Rob has mentioned that many vehicles are not in the database if earlier than a given date.

The number plate you mention sounds like a civilian licence, not a military one.

This is a prototype Chrysler built truck delivered to LETE on 26 August 1969. It is vehicle no. 03 of 6 built. The plate does look like a civilian plate. Other pictures in the test literature show vehicle 05 bearing DND plate no. 12165 & vehicle no. 02 bore plate 35835.F

That CFR was overwritten in 2008 to a commercial Ford F250, so no data exists on it anymore

Sorry to hear that Rob, but thanks for trying.

Ref trailers - when I ran my trailer's number it was anticlimactic. There was virtually no money spent on it, and almost no work orders listed. Only some interunit transfers, but nothing earthshaking.

One thing to remember with the older 50s equipment was that there was some fairly large releases in the early 70s when Trudeau Sr reduced the size of Canada's army. Because those vehicles and trailers left so early, they are not included in the EDR viwer. Data only starts to appear there in the 77/78 time period.

Often the early release stuff can be spotted because they are still in the single olive colour (no cam) and later mods will be missing, such as west coast mirrors on deuces, or the complete sandblasting that the trailers were subjected to in the early 80s.

Any chance on this CFR? This M38a1 followed me home and decided to stay

She starts stops and turns and all the lights work.
Thanks!
