wwiitrucks Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I am tiring to figure out the registration number on my series 5 ward lafrance. I have wheels and tracks number 3 that lists contracts but there seems to be a lot missing. I tried to find the war contacts listed with no success. I also so have just about all the references listed in the article and find nothing on war contracts. So where did they find it ? My truck is a very late war 557118 Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Hi Jeff Have a look at the thread link below, I don't know if this is useful or duplicates what is in W&T No3. http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?28700-Diamond-T-amp-Ward-La-France-in-the-Swiss-Army&highlight=ward+france Regards Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwiitrucks Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Ross What Totall Mike talks about is all from W&T no.3 . In the article they show all the truck serial and registration numbers very well for the war lafrance series 1,2,3,4 and Kenworth 570,572,573. But when they get to Ward lafrance series 5 and Kenworth 573 there is a lot of gray area. Also the contract number W-740-Ord-2723 is the same for the series 4 and 5. I tried to find the contract number with a Google search , found a bunch of usual government B/S. I do not know who wrote the article but it could have been Winston G. Ramsey or Bart Vanderveen. I wonder where they found the information, Bart died in 2001 do not know about Winston. I wish I could find that contact so I can read it myself, There has to be someone on this HMVF site that knows more. Thanks Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
