Aluminum or brass data plates

Post by acmack » Sat Mar 22, 2008 10:05 pm

My frame number is 9545. I have an aluminum marine operations plate (colored red) and am missing all the others. I'm not sure if my aluminum red plate is original or correct. The former owner did a number of weird things to this GPA.
Based on number 9545 should I have aluminum or brass plates? David

Hello David,

My gpa chassis number is 9542, from the Australian Army, sure is close.

On mine (7177), all GPA plates are brass, both smaller "jeep" plates are in steel.
