Crawling under my truck and I see this stenciled on the inside of the drivers side frame rail.
Any ideas what it is or what it signifies?

Apologies for the pic. Not very good but I could only zoom out so far while still laying underneath it.
The pic doesn't show the entire stenciling.

Is your rig a CUCV? Looks Military.

Definitely not CUCV.
Certainly agree that it looks like military stencil.

It could have been just a generic government vehicle for the military. Not all were CUCVs.

Looks like part number/lot information from the frame supplier.

That particular part may have been on the end of the bundle and was marked accordingly.

Looks like the password to get into Area 51.

It signifies that you have a super clean frame. I'm very jealous.

Agreed. To my knowledge this truck spent its whole life in NC. Other then some NC clay splashed-on remnants, the entire frame and undercarriage is extremely clean.

By the way, the entire stencil string is FX 5718-953. The pic doesn't show the whole thing.
