Serial Number Or Vin Questions

Re: VIN Numbers

any pics of your jeep?
gas tank under drivers seat or in rear?

reason I ask is my data is showing it as a 70 with 4cyl

 

Re: VIN Numbers

See thats why i asked, Its titled as a 63....

 

Re: VIN Numbers

Heres another for you, only a tub and vin plate, no title.

8305017 359821

 

Re: VIN Numbers

8305017 361233, Sept 69, V6 CJ5 paint 435 burnished bronze

 

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

Mine was originally titled in Oregon as a 1970 model I have the original paperwork for its sale. It has a tapered 44 in the rear. It sold new in Jan of 70'. Mike

 

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

Here is another late 69 Vin 8305017 362380, Mfg Oct. 1969.

 

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

You have Renegade in your info, is it a ren-1?

 

Re: VIN Numbers

yea it is, had the upgraded springs, boxed in front part of frame, dash pad, etc, I am the 2nd owner, and know the guy that bought this off the showroom floor, was origionally Red, President red from what I have read.... what in the number gives the Renigade away?

 

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.

 

Re: VIN Numbers

Ahhh I got ya, yea the Original owner told me it was a Renigade, hope that helps out some..... it was purchased in Colorado, umm and yea my registration says 1970 year on it as well, but all my tags are still there and say Oct 69. :v6:

 

Re: VIN Numbers

Here is a pic of my dash sticker, registered as a 70' and has a tapered axle rear end.

 

Re: VIN Numbers

My 69has #359627 and when i took the engine apart recently the code on the block was drh 083 meaning 83rd day of 1969. I also have tapered axles.
