Hi, just got a new HT in rough shape and was wondering who built it, its a 1942 something, it has the early aluminum floor panels but was converted into a M2A1 according to the data plate. Have not yet made a serious attempt to uncover the hood #s, but can see "4***302S" on one side, along with "USA". The serial number on the data plate is 7571, is this enough to determine the maker-would the full hood number help?

BTW,I'm in serious need of one track (the other is in amazing condition), and also about 600 of the armor bolts-any leads on those two things?

Thanks, Phil

This HT is actually an Autocar, it's hood # is 4020502, as both uncovered hood numbers and a stamping on the right side main bogie casting confirm. It is a rebuilt M2 converted by Bowen and Mclaughlin to M2A1 standards. Currently undergoing restoration.
