Hey Rob
When that book comes out and if you think of it, could you let me know when it's published and where I could find a copy? Would be very interested in reading it. Most of the stuff I read about M38A1's is mainly US which is OK but wouldn't mind some Canadian information. Do you know of any publications or military manuals that would be useful in the restoration of my 68 M38A1? I'm thinking of the proper decals and things like that. I can still see the "license" number under many coats of paint and a faded black Canadian flag on the RF fender. It's the little things that finish the restoration but I still have a long road to travel to get this beast to that point. Always looking for information.
Thanks
Jerry

The book is supposed to be published next month I believe.

The cam patterns were the same for all the Jeeps starting in the 70s. As for markings, these were dictated by the FMCo's which also included a copy of the cam pattern. The liscence number you found on the dash would have originally been stencilled on the sides of the jeep under the doors. This was discontinued once the vehicles were cammed up and liscence plates became the norm.

I could go on for some time about the various markings which should and could have been on your truck, but since this is the buy and sell forum, I'll leave it to another day and another thread.
