Data Plate question

I'm going to have a new data plate made for my 51 M37 and at the bottom there is JMC stamped in large letters. Any idea what that stands for? I added the pic to my gallery. Thanks!

Bruce, I sent it to your email address from when you sent it to me a year ago. I tried adding it to the gallery with no luck. If you didn't get it let me know.

I have a drawing sent to me awhile back from Bruce. If you have a B1 you will have to modify it for the spare tire. E-mail me jjbdodge@aol.com and I will pass it along.

Hi Tim, I'm only going to sell these parts at the show. These are left over parts from restoring 2 trucks, and I'm hoping someone coming to the show can use them. I really didn't want to try selling and shipping any parts. Come down to the show and enjoy the weather!
