The weather was nice out today so I was out and about. Went out to my carriers and took good look at them, got numbers off two of them. On one I could only get lower hull number....5066
The other had more on it. Numbers on armour plate in front of driver are as follows....CT 113449 10/30/1942 Ford 11301 lower hull....0300

Cheers
Eric

Hi Eric, I think you need to look further at your lower hull number???

Lynn you were correct about the lower hull number, I went out with a wire brush and gave it a good cleaning. It was badly rusted so it took a fair bit of cleaning but did find another number. The hull number is 10300, was not able to see the one yesterday. It is so faint to see it
Thank you for correcting me.

Eric
