Oldest deuce??

[hndrsonj]

Deuces were designed and production started in late 49/early 50. My M48 is a 1951. I know MACCUS's M34 is also a 1951. I have seen a 51 M109 and several other 1951 M34's. Does anyone have a 1950 or possibly a late 1949 model?

 

[XM 2742]

How do the serial numbers work. I have a 52 XM211 # 2742. Is the numbering started on the contract date, the year, or the month. 2742 is kinda low and the lowest I have seen on the site but I am kinda new at this.

Along these lines, the Orignal M34 was named The Eager Beaver by REO. Does anyone have a copy of the EAGER BEAVER LOGO??? Or know where to find it?

Kudo's on a good thread topic for those of us interested in the preservation aspect of the MV Hobby.

I wonder how this thread came about????

Atleast hndrsonj started a thread instead of hijacking the other one like I did .

The XM211 is a totally different truck than the G742's. The serial numbers (at least for the G742's) changed several times through their production. I am not sure of the GMC's serial numbers.

My xm211 # 1422 , that said .. There is a guy here that I met a couple a years ago with a m34 I think he said it was a 1949 but he might of said it was a 50 I will look up his name ......... Tim

 

[hippiedude]

Acrane is his name here , I think it`s a 1950 ........ Tim

 

[XM 2742]

Hey Hippiedude. What month is the XM211 # 1422? We might be able to figure out the production #s ourselves.

 

[hippiedude]

I think it is 8/52 ..... I will have to take a ride over to it and look at the data plate ..... Tim

Sorry, just a '53, a '54, and a '58 here. Two REO's and a Curtiss-Wright.

The G742 based trucks are the topic of this thread.

sorry but that was not the title to the thread. Anyhow I believe there is a 49 m34 at the Robins AFB museum of aviation sitting in thier bone yard.

Looks like I am getting 2 deuces this week. A 1954 and a 52. Any of you guys want/need parts? Pics later in the week.

 

[hndrsonj]

Are they gassers still? Also do they have the gasser sheetmetal? (shorter grill/turn signal guards/fenders ect) If so I have a list.

 

[gimpyrobb]

I should know tomorrow.

Yo Gimpy! Do they have original data plates? I need a frame and matching data plate.
