Update on data plate for my M151A1. After all the assistance along with pictures from lots of you, I got what is as close to original possible. I’m satisfied. It has been stamped along with “inspector stamp”. Thanks to all for help and comments. Thanks to Fil Bonica for that special stamp.
The procurement of the data plate started late June with plate maker. Took a few back and forth emails until I was happy. Just got completed plate, ready for mounting about an hour ago from postal service.

I liked Fil’s price and quality. Sooooo much better than a blank space on plate. 👍 🤣 That’s a fact about keeping them rolling. I know the fresh wheel bearing pack improved the fuel mileage. 🤣. Miles per gallon is better than gallons per miles.
M60 tank got like 4 gallons per mile on flat ground with a tail wind. I recall a 5,000 gallon tanker trailer filled about a dozen.
Transportation folks loved us.
