Truck Markings - 528th Quartermaster Company

[Beerslayer]

The 528th was inactivated last year. They were at JBLM. Some of their trucks were sold there at Ft Lewis and I ended up with one. I would like to recreate the truck numbers correctly, or at least the unit numbers. I have some pretty decent ghost numbers, about half of which can be read.

Can anyone interpret what you see in the photo for me and perhaps extrapolate what should be on there? Here's the truck info from Carnac

Organization:528TH QUARTERMASTER CO
Location:FT LEWIS
WA Nomenclature: TRUCK CARGO D/S 5-TON

Here's what the numbers look like to me.

Left Side:
533 88 88 08 (those eights could be sixes or zeros as well)

Right Side:
528 0? 34? (last digit could again be zero or eight or six)

Site only lets me upload smaller pics. See a full sized one here if interested:

While cleaning the front bumper to repaint I also found some very cool older markings that identify the first unit this truck was assigned to. Can anyone help with this?

I would ~really like to know what unit that was.

Unit Insignia

These are Very Cool! Would look good painted on the inside of the door I am thinking.

Could make a set of stencils, ~only five or six colors to deal with

Hi, I was looking up info on 528th QM Co since I was formerly a soldier of that unit and found your post. In fact, chances are very high that I've driven that same truck. I think I can help!
First, the rear left bumper should be written like this:

Left- Right-
593 SB 80 OD BN 528 QM 340

The front bumper should look exactly the same as the rear from your viewing perspective. The older unit ID numbers I'm not familiar with. Hope that helps.

I served with the unit from Spring 2004 to Fall 2007.

i am in complete shock that I have come across this thread! This was my vehicle when I was assigned to 528 QM in 1996. S&T refers to Supply and Transport Troop. The numbers are just the bumper numbers. I remember painting these stencils on! Love seeing this truck! Great memories!!
