M35A2C

Yup I kinda scratched my head when I looked at the bumper, but I was'nt about to tell them Army Boys at the 24th Infantry Div. at FT. Riley KS. that they had been driving around a deuce with a "upside down Navy" bumper<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_shock.gif" alt="Shock"><img src="emoticons/icon_smile_shock.gif" alt="Shock">

Well who knows what there up to. Maybe tie downs for a train car or air transport? I would bet it was done for some sort of reason. But thats what makes this stuff fun. Every thing has some sort of "touch" like the tool door on my m35. I think some GI got a little mad at it when it would not shut and kicked it to deth lol<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_disapprove.gif" alt="Disapprove">

what is the trick to chasing down the ID numbers?

Tracking them down as in where the truck came from, or what the numbers mean? Here's a article on Vietnam era trucks that has some info on the markings, might still apply to the newer ones I think: http://www.collect.com/interest/article.asp?Pub=MV&id=9591
Scroll down to the heading "Unit Markings" or some such...

well....both. I would love to find out if my rig was in Viet Nam, or in the gulf. Or if it was just a training vehicle. <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_shrug.gif" alt="Shrug">
