Hello,
Years ago when I was working in a government position, I had the
opportunity to talk with the head of procurement/purchasing for AM General.
He told me that a good way to estimate the actual finish date of trucks made
by them was to add 30 days to the stamped date on the axle pumpkins. They
operated on the JIT (Just In Time) parts system, hence it was common that
the axles were delivered 30 days prior to the truck coming off the line.

Subject: [MV] Getting vehicle year from registration number
Hi, gang. I think that I recall an older MIL-VEH thread and/or a MV
Mag article which described how to determine the year of delivery of
M-series military vehicles from their registration numbers. I'm having
trouble finding that information. Can anybody give me a nudge in the
right direction?
I have a few deuces that I got from GL a couple months ago that don't
have their years of delivery stamped on their data plates. Their
registration numbers are:
04D98671
4L1095
4D5431
NK0F50
I think the last one is a 1972 truck, because I have another 1972
truck with an "NK0" number.
Thanks in advance for any information or leads!
