M35A3 VIN question

[BKubu]

I recently bought an M35A3, but it has not yet made it home. I have a question regarding the VIN #. Did they issue a new VIN number or did the truck retain its original VIN # when it was rebuilt? If it is the former, is there any way to track the history of the original truck? When was it originally built? By which manufacturer? Thanks!

New VIN - and not that I know of.

Concur and I think they all started off with 500 and the rest of the number. Probably not. It would probably show the truck going to a depot or something like that IF you found the old number.

Nameplates will tell where and when they were rebuilt.

A new VIN #.....my first A3 I sent the request for SF97 using the new vin # only and the SF 97 come like that.

My second A3 I did the same but for some reason they added the USA number to the VIN number in the SF97

Can you help me find at least the last unit my m35a3 was at? The vin number is 502327. Thanks in advance.

Bob , it's on the RS front bumper , those are the unit numbers , that's all I looked for at the time . Do a google search and you should be able to find the unit . BK

I found the serial number plate on the front axle. It's M00511. The person I bought my truck from painted the unit number of his son's unit. So I don't have the bumper number.
