    Re: VIN Numbers

    I'd call the 821 jeep a 1970, or a late 69 model.

    I'd call the 233 jeep a 1970 model.


    Easiest way to tell the diff between a 69 or 70 is the flanged rear axle appeared in the 1970 model year whilst the tapered axle was in 69. There are some 1970 jeeps with the tapered axle, but from what I have been able to learn those were most likely 69 carryovers that were titled as 1970.

    I'd love to find a late, late 69 or early, early 70 with either a flanged axle or tapered axle, respectively.

    Re: VIN Numbers

    Does your 1970 jeep with the tapered axles have a date manufactured on the yellow tag on the dash?

    Re: VIN Numbers



    It has an underseat tank. My tub was completely rusted out, so I have new tub and fenders. I found an nos 1966 export windshield which fit perfect on with the windshield hinges from a junked 66. Does that give any indication?

    Where on the frame are the serial numbers?

    Re: VIN Numbers

    Gas tank under seat points toward 1970. windshield hinges didn't change much over the years until mid 70s so it won't tell you much. there are supposed to be serial numbers on the front and rear of the frame rails. under the battery location is the most common I have read. do a search for VIN number here and many of the threads are dedicated to finding the frame serial numbers.

    Re: VIN Numbers

    I am not aware of any clue in the numbers that it is a Renegade, I got it off of your signature. I just wanted to include the renegade part on my list.

    I started a list of serial numbers a while back so I could narrow down a build date for the $ sink, what I found is there are alot of jeeps with build dates before October 1969, that are titled or at least known by their owners as 1970s.

    I do not have any complete VINs on the list only the sequential serials.
