Hi list:
I am now in the process of searching for the CAR number on our project
M38CDN... the front frame rails had been stamped once, but a grinder (or
heavy sand-blasting) has erased just about all evidence of the CAR number.
(any ideas on how to get real faint stamping shadows to show up better?)
First off: what does CAR stand for?
Was there a method in the assignment of the CAR numbers? I've heard
different takes on this, such as the first two numbers after the dash
designating 1/4-ton truck (for the M38), last three indicating last three
serial numbers of the vehicle...?? Does this make any sense?
Does anybody know if the military assigned CAR numbers sequentially when
they received a batch of vehicles, or are these random assignments?
The next step for our M38CDN will be to slowly sand away the paint and BONDO
bit by bit to see if anything of inportance is left under this mess... I
think the history for this truck might be lost...
Merry Christmas to all, and best wishes for 2000,
Rej
