Can you put up a pic of the actual bumper? the 82386 seems a little weird, SAB=separate armored brigade
, HHC 08= headquarters & headquarter company, vehicle eight,16 MP=16th Military Police Brigade (Airborne) Ft, Bragg are there no - or / between numbers? Home Page

Hard To Read
I don't think putting up a picture of my bumper will help. The markings have been painted over and are pretty hard to read. I'll give it another look tomorrow and see if I may have those numbers wrong. What should I expect to see?

Revision To Right Bumper End
Ok - I went out and looked again this morning and the right bumper marking is different than I originally thought. It is 16MP 3-238G SAB. Does that make more sense? Thanks again

Could it be 46MP 3-238 GSAB that is a Michigan Army National Guard unit. What base did you get it from? Wayne

I'm guessing that's probably it Wayne, if it's on the bumper of the truck in his avatar.
That looks like a shot off the GL website taken of a truck at the Camp Grayling airfield.
The truck I got from there says on the front bumper,
left side: 246 TRANS BN right side: 1463 TC 48
I read it as 246th Transportation Battalion, 1463rd Transportation Company truck # 48.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

46 It is
papercu - you are absolutely right. It is a 46 which makes a lot more sense since I did indeed get the truck from Camp Grayling. I was wondering how a truck from N. Carolina had made its way all the way up there to be auctioned. So - what can you tell me now since all the numbers seem to be correct. It's amazing what different sun angles will do when you are trying to read through overspray paint!

My M813A1 was from Ft. Leonard Wood, MO and I bought it in WI, so these trucks do get around.

Doesn't seem to be a lot on it, 3-238 GSAB (General Support Aviation Battalion) is/was based in Grand Ledge, Michigan and is part of the 46th Military Police Command. Wayne
