Help ID this Dash Panel Plate

Post by Dan S » Thu Jan 25, 2018 11:16 am

Any idea what vehicle this panel plate is for?
It is the same as my M38 except it is missing the holes for the dash lights.

Thanks,
Dan S

May go to Militarized Power Wagons, and some M-606 Jeeps.
These trucks had conventional 12 Volt electrical system, and ignition. Were an export item widely used in Europe by our friendly allies.

Thanks Mr. Dover!

Does this mean that this truck (M-602) did not have dash lights?
Also, was there an M38A1 variant that was 12 volt that used this same plate?

I have some similar panels with brackets on the back side for bulbs.
Note I chanced my answet about the M-602, but it could still be for the M-602 (12 Volt M-35)
