Has anyone successfully re-stamped a set of re-pop data plates with all pertinent information for their jeep, contract numbers, serial number, etc? I have a set of plates and would love to stamp them correctly right down to a delivery date (best guess) including the inspector stamp. Anyone have any solutions? Does anyone offer this service? Thanks for looking.



This is a CDN plate

Pete I don't know about Canada but a couple of the US vendors can stamp
your plates. Not sure about the inspectors stamp.

I know there is an MVPA guy in Texas that reportedly can do the inspector stamp.

Take care,

Thanks Brian! And thanks to whomever put the plate picture on my post! That will help a lot. Maybe the chap from Texas will chime in unless someone know who they are and can PM me a name? As for my delivery date, I'm going to search for as many serial numbers as I can with know delivery dates and guess at mine accordingly. I hope the serial numbers were sequential?

The Maple Leaf site had a complete list of CAR numbers for the M38 CDN and the M38A1 CDN's

The Ford serial numbers on M38CDN's did not have strictly sequential delivered dates. The actual delivered dates may have been a few days to several weeks or more after the vehicle rolled off the line; likely depending on the correction of deficiencies. The best solution if the actual date is not known is to stamp the year "52" and leave space ahead of the year blank. Research may uncover your correct month and day. Have you checked with a trophy shop about engraving or stamping? ... Brian

Thanks for the insight Brian. And that's a great idea about trying a trophy shop; we're a bit limited here in Cold Lake but Edmonton is an option with a little research.

Thanks Wes. I had seen those posts before and they offer some great information. I suspect I'm looking for un-obtanium trying to guess at a delivery date.

Would someone be willing to provide me with a pencil etching of a period correct (1952) inspectors stamp so I can try to get it reproduced? Or does anyone know of an easier way to copy it?

Is the inspectors stamp on the CDN jeeps different than the Ordnance
stamp for the US Army?

Just go back to my Album and enlarge a M38CDN data plate:


M38CDN inspector stamp


M38 US Army Ordnance inspection stamps.

I should be able to do something with that Wes. General question, is the date on the US plate the manufacturer date or delivered date? It would be simpler if our plates only identified dates only to the month instead of actual delivery day.

It's the month of acceptance. The Army had a representative inspector at the Willys factory. The inspector accepted or took delivery of the jeep so to speak.
