I bought my rig (M1009) in Portland from a dealer with about 5 on his lot. He did not say where he got them. Maybe at Ft. Lewis. As I was sanding the bumpers, all I could find is "HQ 101"

No idea what that means.

Only HQ 101 I think it could be Is the Headquarters 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) out of Ft Campbell, KY. Probably got transferred up to a unit at Ft Lewis at some point.

It depends on what side of the bumper it was one. We numbered all of our vehicles "HQ - ___". The numbers to an extent would id the vehicle's purpose. HQ-6 was out battalion commander, HQ-3 was the battalion ops/S-3, on up to HQ-5. Past that though it was just random. So HQ-101 is probably just the vehicles number in whichever unit it was in. If it was in the headquaters for the 101 ABN is would have said "HHC101AD". I was in the headquarters for the III Armored Corps and our left side numbers said "HHC3C" and then a triangle for armored.

ANYway my vehicle came from the 221st Ordnance Detachment (EOD) out of Camp Blanding Florida. When I got it there were a bunch of explosives placards and some hand reciepts for munitions.

Trying to find out what I can about my m1009.

I found out it was from the 424th Maintenance Co out of Rolla MO. <Thank you again Carnac> Now I need to do some digging and find out how to make proper vehicle markings for the vehicle. I might call the 424th and find out if they have any info.

Is there a special web site for tracing the vin # ? My m1009 is marked on the bumper "csms" and "auto" followed by either a 3,6 or 8. I was told by the seller that it he belived it was a new jersey national guard vehicle. I found a placard marked cwo4 ok. I would like to pass it on if any members here know who that is.

Found out a lot about it this weekend. It was a Joint Task Force truck doing work on Alaska Road. I Googled that, and saw a photo album with CUCVs equipped exactly like mine in their motor pool. Also, I found the unit decal in a Ziplock bag under the seat that said "Rock Dawgs - Innovative Readiness Training - JTF Alaskan Road"

Explains the inch thick layer of mud I washed off it yesterday, lol.

Pretty neat! :grin:

Mine came from Ft. Meade via the previous owner who bought it directly from the gov't with another M1009 and an M1008. He told me that mine didn't have antennas or radios, but it did have a big dent in the middle of the hood like something fell on it. It was a basic virgin militaryBlazer. The interior is extremely clean and has the original seats with only one 1" tear in the driver's seat. Markings only included bumper numbers left and right, but nothing on the body at all.

Any ideas what this one was used for? He speculated that it was a liaison vehicle used only for transportation of people when needed.
