WTK: Front radiator upper tank shroud antifreeze markings

Post by UTTAS »

I'm looking for a picture of any front upper radiator tank shroud markings. Mine had OCT 58 xxx stenciled on it and
I couldnt read the last part. I'm assuming the first time she was winterized. If anyone knows the full marking please let me know.

That was probably a unit-level designation. We didn't note those in our vehicles during my Army days ('76-'88).

Good to know, thank Gary. I assumed it to be like the WW2 jeeps. They would mark under the hood something like Preston 44.
