My truck has no markings on it, even with carefull sanding of the bumper and sides of the hood I could find nothing.
Being a newbe and having no military experiance, is there a way to research and find out should have been on the truck?
And another stupid question, what is the round yellow marker on the grill?

Hey Rich, from one newbie to another, the round plate on the grill is called a bridge plate. I believe it basically indicates the minimum load number that a bridge must be able to support for the truck to go over. All the M37's that I've seen have the number 4, larger trucks have a higher number. Does yours have a 'C' above the number? I've seen that and I don't know what that means.

I was able to find some letters and numbers on my bumper after sanding, and I keep forgetting to post here to see if anyone knows what they mean.

My truck also had an overhaul tag on the dash that said 'TEAD 1972' which after some research I found to be Tooele Army Depot. I was out of luck there since all those old records had been destroyed, but look for a similar tag and maybe go from there.

Thanks I red the post about bridge plates and didn't understand this is what they were actualy talking about, Yes Ive seen the letter number combo too maby we will boath learn about that.
good luck at finding out more info on your truck I think mine will be a lost cause.

Here is an example of the correct bridge plate and location of number on passenger door. (no number on driver door).

The numbers on the bridge plates are maximum weight classifications. They are used to determine whether or not a particular bridge will support the load if they attempt to cross it.

The "C" above the number indicates a combined weight for the vehicle and a towed load, and is generally used only when a trailer or other equipment is being towed.
