The first part of that number is what it was built as 03-25, the second part is the serial number, which started with 10,000, so your truck was the 2379'th truck of that type delivered under that contract. A decade or more ago, there was a posting that identified the codes for the first part...
How big of a trailer do you have? I've got three engines in cans that I'll likely never do anything with, and a fourth that was idled w/o any coolant in the system. I should also have 'somewhere' six LDS piston assemblies and a couple of hundred poppet valve push rods! Start a conversation...

Here are some links to the press coverage. The last article got one detail wrong, the HMMWV's were furnished by the Military Vehicle Collectors Of SC and driven by the members dressed in WWI period uniforms. First picture in post #4 of this thread shows the HMMWV's at our compound prior to...
