My M880 still has the grille mounted number plates which I believe are bridge weight indicators, but I haven't found any photos to show what accurate numbers might be on them. I'm trying to make this restoration as accurate as possible, any help would be appreciated.

I think it's the same as an M715 or a CUCV since they are all "5/4 tons".

After looking around in the CUCV forum I think 04 is the correct bridge plate number.

4 is the number, this is defined in the -10 manual
although current Army convoy regs (so I've been told) require all vehicles in the convoy to list the #'s for the heaviest vehicle in the convoy. Hence the common "69"
