    I went to buy what I thought was a CJ3b and it turned out to be a CJ6. All I got with it was a bill of sale and I'm trying to find out what year it is so I don't buy wrong year parts for it.
    Vin. is 8405 27058
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Jerry

    Sledgehammer Sure, I'll try it

    My book doesn't tell exactly but it is a 64-71. I know that doens't totally answer your question but hopefully will get you started a little. Someone will chime in with more info I'm sure.

    Looks to be built in Dec of '64 which makes it a '65 model year.

    Going by this as a reference.

    Congrats on joining the elite world of CJ6 ownership! Got any pics? ;)

    Thanks for the link and info.
    No pics yet.....just got my new camera yesterday. Body is pretty trashed but frame and drive train are in very good shape.
    Person I bought it from took the body off years ago and stored it outside uncovered but put chassis and drive train in garage and covered it.
    So far all I know is that it has the original 4 cyl, T98 trans and factory PTO setup.
    Only had it a few days and ain't had much time to mess with it....YET.
    Thanks
    Jerry:)

    Thanks Bill, I was preoccupied when I replied.

    The post will be likely to get more attention here than where it was Jerry. :beer:

    On the contrary...it seems like a good number of the active builds going on are CJ6's...especially when you figure the difference in production numbers...;)

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.
    I have been here awhile but not posted much. I also have a 69 CJ5 with the Dauntless V6 and a 64 DJ3a. I usually try to do my homework before asking for help but I was stumped on this one.
    I hope to be posting more in the future....not only for help.....LOL
    Thanks
