Over here SS member carnac can usually tell the history from the vin number. That thread comes up pretty regular so just look for it. I don't know if he has access to information on trucks overseas. I asume you have the vin number. If you don't it is stamped in the left frame rail in front of the wheel and behind the steering box. Most times it is hard to find because of many layers of paint over it.

It might be. Kinda supposed to be. You know what the difference is between "in theory" and "in practice", right? If it matters to you, look for the one on the frame.

Search for thread called 2011 VIN

There you can enter your vin info as a request and if the vehicle is Army or Army guard, you can receive information related to the vehicle history, etc. courtesy of a very kind member. Please honor his request for a donation to the wounded vets fund. It's a worthwhile charity and the Vin lookup is a service unavailable ANYWHERE else. What a treasure for sure.

When sending the info to CARNAC, also include the registration number in addition to the VIN.

Often, you can wet sand the rear and front bumpers and uncover the numbers. That is what I did and mine matched what CARNAC came up with. Make sure you use the correct format exactly as he outlines in his thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/members-rides/62871-2011-vin-info-thread.html It can be ound under the forum Member's Rides.

Gary,
Good info,
But it is CARNAC as in 'CARNAC the Magnificent' just like his avatar.

That's what happens when you post in a hurry and are tired! Sorry Carnac!

Keep in mind that Carnac will likely only be able to provide you with the truck's most recent assignment-insofar as trying to find all the unit's it's served with..... good luck.

Try carefully sanding in all the places the service would have put their markings.
