Dave,
The numbers on the right side of the front bumper of your five ton dump
indicate that it once belonged to the 264th Group, 426th Engineer =
Battalion,
at least that is the traditional way of identifying what unit a particular
vehicle belonged to. The numbers stenciled on the inside of the doors of
your Air Force flatbed are most likely what are commonly called "USA
Numbers". They are, basically, a specific serial number which was assigned
by the military, and differing from the actual manufacturers serial =
number,
in most cases. There was quite a discussion of USA numbers in this list a
couple of months ago.
