The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Newbie from Louisiana with a 1959 Apache and an ID question

Hello All,

Greeting from extreme south Louisiana.

Recently acquired a 1959 Apache from a friend that decided he didn't want to deal with rust repair.
That said, kind of my thing, so I have replaced floor, door jams, steps, cab corners, and the roof.

Removing tags from the door pillars I found a small brass oval tag and really didn't pay any mind to it at the time.
Now that I'm at the point of finish body work on the cab, I started on the dash where I found a military tag on the glove box door.

I have done some moderate searching and discover it was some sort of DOD truck.

So, my question is there any information sites to decode these tags?

Thanks
