#WILLYS JEEP SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION FRAME SURREY HOW TO#
Look on the internet to find out how to decode LOF window glass and that will be your best bet.add 1 -2 months to the date of the window glass to determine the approx build date of the wag. No way to tell the model year of the early wagoneer by the VIN

I think they left the assembly line running for three years and just built em unlike GM or Ford that would have an official model change (indicated by VIN) at around July and August and showing up at dealers in Sept/Oct or later in the year. Personally, I dont think the Jeep factory saw a model year changeover as there was verituall NO difference between a 63 and 65 wagoneer OHC. In a normal (General Motors or Chysler) world, this would have meant that the car carrier picked up the thing during the summer of 64 and had it to the dealer shortly thereafter. The engine casting date code says Feb of 64, the orig fuel pump says Mar of 64 and all of the LOF window glass is date coded as march of 64.

My rig is registered as a 63 but after looking at specific components on the rig it was easy to tell that my wag was built around april to june of 1964 and probably should have been titeld as such. Pretty safe to say that if it has a Willys tag its a 63. Back up lights were an option from 63-65 and maybe later so the lack of back up lights cannot determine the year of the wagoneer.Īlso, does the metal tag on the door frame say "Willy's" or "Kaiser"? I had an early 63 that had a Willy's tag but my The re-issued title dated the truck as a 63. The previous owner noted that the Wag was devoid of back up lights and thus, assumed, it was a 63. I have a "1963" wagoneer that is actually a late 64 or early 65.
