REGULAR MEETING Looking for unit history on M37 vehicle identification number 80028067

Is there any way to trace the last unit to have my truck?

Truck number B-14, Company B, vehicle 14?

Unit number 42 over 242S

Hood number 2427367

Also what is the best way to clean the data plates mounted on the glove box door?

Thanks,

Billy Bobbed,

Thank you for the email. I have found CARNAC and I have learned something new today.

Based on my truck’s numbers, Truck number B-14, Company B, vehicle 14
Unit number 42 over 242S

My truck a 1952 M37 is from the National Guard, 42nd Rainbow Div. 242 Signal Battalion Company B, S-1 Personnel officer.

This unit was in Long Island NY until October 1985 when the 242 Signal Battalion Company B being transfused to the Delaware National Guard 198 Signal Battalion in Wilmington, DE

Thanks,

THere are a good number of M37 TMs in the TM section here.

The history is not tied to the serial number on the frame and/or the dataplate.

It will be found on the bumpers and hood sides, if you're lucky enough to find the painted data under all that red paint. Sand carefully!

Due to the age of the truck, the S/N won't fit in the current VIN scheme, so a title search at your DMV might be exasperating.

That shift pattern plate on the door doesn't there, it goes on the dash over the steering column.

BTW, that metal tag you found on the engine side of the firewall is just the part number for the cab. Disregard that number in your search.

Ex-fire service rigs are always a rat's nest of wires and cobbled conversions with 12V stuff.
