Minniethejeep

If you know or suspect your jeep is ex British army, you can go on the RLC archives website. It costs £30 for them to look and they may not find anything. If they do, it will be what's called a key card. It shows the post war registration of two numbers, two letters, two numbers, the chassis number, the wartime M number (they weren't always painted on the bonnet) the contract number bought under, whether it's a Ford or Willys and other odd bits of information. Mine says it was sold off by the Ministry of Supply on 15/01/59. Unfortunately there are no unit records for mine. Some exist, but not always. The research is easy if you know the post war registration but it can be done by chassis number. The key card is sent by email as a digital copy.

Hi Gordon, Hope this helps Regards, Eric 20210519_FMT_3D.pdf

Hi Gordon, Sorry for delay. I'm waiting on the MT report emailing a copy. Hopefully I'll have it tomorrow.

Cheers Pete. I'll probably go for the steel body as it's easier and cheaper for me. The only difficulty will be the mud guards as I have no drawings or old ones for a template.

Hi, these are a of shots of the chassis. If anyone has any idea what type of body it should have I'd be very grateful.

I'm back in work a week Monday (25/04/22) so I can have a word with the MT. They're all computer printouts now but still pretty much the same as when the Harleys came into service. I was at my first unit then, when they replaced the Can-Am Bombardier who's spares started arriving in HD logo'd packaging. My mate started calling himself a Harley Davidson technician when asked what he did!

Can anyone help? I have a Canadian 10cwt trailer missing a few parts! The parts have are the bare chassis, axle, springs and spring plates and u bolts. No body, towing eye, rear pintle or mud guards. I have access to a fabrication shop so all I need are dimensions drawings. Unfortunately, the data plate is missing so I don't know which body to go for. Regards, Eric.

Contact the Panzer museum in Munsterlager. They have access to the documents, drawings etc. I can't recall whether they have a Pz 11, but since their A7V is a replica built by the German equivalent of the REME training establishment, they should be able to provide something.
