Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

Hey Joe, Got any pics of your gas tank/drawbar area? Seriously thinking about a rear gas tank but dont want to give up my drawbar.:v6:

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

374226 - nice high serial number. Highest one I've seen is 375456 which was in California.

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

Rocky,

Unfortunately I took the drawbar off a few years ago when I replaced the rear crossmember.

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

Folks, if you know the original paint color or can find the code tag and give us the code, that too would be interesting info to add. Thanks

Just wanted to let everybody know that zoomer and $ Sink have done all the work on this project, and it looks great.

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

How about a question about the fake battery box cover? Bow bracket indents on the sides? Bow sockets on the rear corners? 6v/12v? Foot starter button or key start? Vacuum wipers or electric? One wiper or two? Pass side manual wiper? Hood safety latch/prop rod or not? And does this survey cover the 2A's, 3A's, 6's and military models too?

Sorry, not trying to be a pain, just some things I thought of.

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

Sheeeesh... Whata Pain R)
thanks for the info Rondog

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

Re the question about drawbar and rear gas tank. When the tank was moved to the rear the drawbar was modified so that it did not need the "K" portion.

I've got a couple of those laying around the shop here...

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

Hey, thanks for the Vin info. I just had a jeep givin' to me by my neighbor. He told me that it was a '52 but the title was lost years ago. I am new to jeeps so I had no idea what I really had. Did some hunting around on the internet to get a better idea. At first I thought that it was a M-38A1 but now thanks to your help the serial number now tells me that it is infact a "56 CJ-5. Now I can start ordering parts. Thanks So much!!!!

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

You're welcome!

And WELCOME from Minnesota!

Care to contribute your VIN and Jeeps configuration to our project? Hang around for a while, there's a wealth of info and great people here!

 

Re: VIN Numbers

What colour is that? Looking for a nice grey myself..

 

another vin help question

i did search and read some of your info and other posts about vin numbers, but there is ALOT of reading out there. please don't get to upset, but i'll ask anyways.

i have what is believed to be a 71cj5 vin# 8305015 277699 (that's what it says on the title). i was just wondering if anybody can confirm the year and maybe give me some other info on it.

and a friend just bought what we believe to be a early cj5 with the wipers on top of the windshield vin# 8305c16 215058
can you guys give us any information on possible year and other info???
here is a link to some pictures of it on the jeep club site that we are in.

thanks for any help

 

Re: VIN Numbers

Sorry for missing this but it is Flat Black - PO+1 sprayed it over the original gold color - driving me crazy getting screws & bolts lose!

 

Re: VIN Numbers

277699 would be a 4 cylinder 71 jeep. the highest s/n that I have seen is 286072.

I would say that 215058 would be most likely a 69 -- maybe a '68 --canadian built.
