No Serial Numbers

Post by Yukonstihl »

Hi All
I bought a couple M37's with a partner this summer
One is an X US Army truck as it has hood numbers,unfortunately the glove box door is gone. I was able to pull the serial number from the frame and add it to the registry.
I picked up the other one which is a Canadien Army truck, when i cleaned off the paint from the frame to find the serial number...
There was none
Anywhere else that it may be? Maybe because it's a Canadien truck it isn't stamped /
Or could this be a pilot truck with out a ser number, wishful thinking...
Thanks Thomas

Welcome Thomas!
I know of no other VIN stamping than the frame in front of the steering box.
We'd love to see some pictures of your trucks.
Thanks for joining us!

It looks like some more investigation to try and find the origins of the Canadien one

The Canadian one is the one on the roll back right? At least the camo on it certainly looks like what you see on trucks from the prairies. Can we see some more pics?
If you take a look on the drivers front frame rail, on the top just before the bumper you should see some stamped #s
Should be something like 53-xxxxx
This is what passed for a serial number in the Canadian army. Unfortunately, you can’t tell much from it as the records were purged long ago. You might also find this number under the paint on the drivers door, or possibly on the dash.
There should still be a frame serial number in the usual place as US trucks, unless it was obliterated at some point.

Cheers,
Rob

Great pix-thanks!
If you go to the Registry and search your VIN your photo should pop up.
