Bobby is right with the number reflecting tons. I hadn't heard that about =
the red "C" but it makes sense. In practice though, I never saw a =
conscious effort on the part of anyone, Army, Navy, Marines or Air Force, =
to ensure that they changed the numbers to reflect weight. On the other =
hand, I was never in an area that had restricted bridges either. For the =
most part, the numbers were placed at the whim of the driver, eg. 69, a =
very popular one. Just my two cents.

David, I was a little short on the the answer to your question , lets
try again. The numbers on the plate reflect the weight of the vehicle plus
the weight of the cargo. So your M-35 weighs roughly 6 tons empty, and =
that
would be the number on the plate. If you had 5 tons of cargo , the plate
would show 11 on it. As for the letters; the only one I know of is "C", =
and
I understand this stands for convoy. A single truck shows no letter on the
plate. Just turn the letter plate over to the backside. If anyone in the
group feels that I am wrong, please fell free to correct me.
