Looking for some history on my deuce

[bede63]

Here are the relevant numbers-

Serial: 4J-4539-0125-28757

Bumper: 99 C-R 400MP HQ 6

I've checked David Doyle's article on deuce serial numbers, but I was hoping someone here might be able to tell me more about my truck's history than I could derive from that article. It seemed from some other posts I have seen that somebody here has access to a database or other records of some kind.

Thanks for any help on this.

Regards,
Charles

Its a 1967 Kaiser-Jeep - beyond that you'll have to turn to others.

Here is what the reg # got:
Organization: 18TH FIELD HOSPITAL
Location: FT STORY, VIRGINIA
Nomenclature:TRUCK CARGO 2-1/2T Model:M35A2 NSN:2320000771616 Serial Number:12528757 Registration Number:4J4539 Year of Mfg:1967
Manufacturer:65909

This document is from 1988. I can also state that field hospitals have not been authorized M35's for many years and I would say since about 1988. It appears the vehicle was transferred sometime, when who knows. The bumper info is for the 99 Army Reserve Readiness Command (which prior to 2005 the 18th FH belonged to) 400th Military Police Battalion located at Fort Meade, MD. I kinda question the Headquarters 6. HQ6 is normally reserved for the battalion commander and I've never known a battalion command vehicle being a deuce. The 18th FH inactivated in Sep 2007 and was replaced by a detachment of the 48th Combat Support Hospital. Having been at the higher HQ for both of these units in my former life, I can assure you there is no record of this deuce with either of those organizations.

99th CR is the 99th Army Reserve Readiness Command. 326th Maintenance Battalion is correct.

Sorry Gimpy, I only can osmos Army stuff.

To those who want to know where I get this info, seek previous posts where I am unvieled as Carnac, the (Vehicle) Mind Reading Magician.

To All of those that get the information (and those that don't), remember this website doesn't operate for free. Give what you can, when you can. There is a specific hot link for making donations and you can have your name put on the list of donors.

Now my disclaimer, I get nothing from your donations other than the satisfaction I can come onto this website to seek help on working on my vehicle, brag, tell 'there I was' stories, bs with the best of us, and enjoy the friendship.

David Doyle - Thanks for your reply to my inquiry.

Medlog - Thank you very much for the info. Others have questioned the HQ-6 on my truck too, but that's the way it's marked so it remains a mystery to me. The truck came out of service in 2002. I suppose it's possible a previous owner (there have been two) doctored the bumper markings. They certainly look authentic in terms of the age of the paint and such.

Also, I don't know if this gives any clues, but I found desert tan CARC paint underthe current 3-color CARC camo. Underlying the desert tan is more forest green in turn underlain by what looks to be the original dark semigloss OD (24087).
