Sure your not looking for the Carfax instead?

Service manual decodes the VIN numbers. Maybe even the owners manual.

 

Yeah, I'm thinking like BT that you're looking for a Carfax report that lists the vehicle's history, eg. accidents, dealer visits, ownership changes, etc. I don't know of any free ones either.

However if you are looking for manufacturer build sheet specs use the following:

Still works! Figured out my 2016 has the trailer tow package. Heavy Duty cooling found!

 

Thanks for the info. I already had the Carfax since it was offered free from the selling Dealer. I was looking for the build sheet and appreciate the site info. It is amazing what is listed on a build sheet. Here is mine for anyone interested to see what one looks like; https://www.jeep.com/webselfservice/BuildSheetServlet?vin=1C4RJFBG0EC340398

 

Go to the following thread:

Sticky: Welcome, Using the WK2 Forum, and Basic WK2 Information (FAQ)

Post #4 by ColdCase includes 2 links. The first one works to bring up my Build Sheet in just seconds.

 

The page doesn't recognize small case letters so use caps.

Here is mine!

Holy Crap! Illuminated cup holders! 😂

Enterprise rent a car? Was it a rental?

Ahh, they want $$$. Not free. 😕

 

I used this when shopping for my WK2. Dealers don't know how the hell to properly list a vehicles equipment. Many times they were outright wrong. I got told "this jeep has QDII yes sir" so many times, incorrectly of course.

VINPIT ISN'T RELILABLE, i HAVE A JEEP 3407219300135 AND IT COMES UP 1971 PONTIAC GTO

 

Looks like missing a few characters. A Jeep VIN will look something like this: 1C4RJKBG4P8815467

What year is your Jeep?

This FCA site says the VIN is invalid.

fcacommunity.force.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing

 

the jeep is a 1969 j3000 with a dauntless 350 engine. I found that the registration numbers were not correct. The number on the door frame is 3407Z19300135.

 

Early jeeps only had 13 chatacter VIN.

The 17 digit VIN didnt become a requirement until 81. Prior to that there was no standard. The length and what they meant varied from company to company.

I am trying to figure out what model Jeep I have so I can order some parts here is the VIN number 55268 40867 any help would be appreciated thanks Tom

 

Post up some pics @Tom Fuller Year and model would help, unless you literally have no idea?!?

Hoss

 

Per your request I've loaded a couple pictures. Thank you for your reply

 

See attached pic's

 

Pics are not showing up. However, if you want the details of whatever it is you have, click on the link below and put the VIN in the box.

Equipment Listing Build Sheet

Also, if you want the Monroney Label (window sticker), copy and paste the link below and add your VIN after the "=" sign for a pdf copy of it.

https://www.jeep.com/hostd/windowsticker/getWindowStickerPdf.do?vin=

Finally, a VIN is 17 numbers and letters. What you previously posted is incomplete.

 

The issue I'm having there is not 17 characters in the VIN number5

 

He is newly registered, probably can't post images.

 

I thought they can, just has to attach them correctly. Is there a limit for new memebers? I've seen many with pics of thier jeeps in thier first posts?

We are in the blind without additional info ...

Hoss

 

 

Thanks for the info guys. However any Vin site that I go to says there must be 17 characters. My only has (9)

 

Uhh, that's not a VIN. The decoder site is for vehicles built after 1998. What you have is a serial number from your pretty rare Willy's, circa 1955.

Google "Kaiser Willys"

 

There are a few members discussing Kaiser Willys CJs including 1955 era. Perhaps someone there can help.

Shamelessly stolen from the web


from '46 - '50 1/2 they had the flater grill, flat (no rib on top) fender and thin profile hood (at the radiator).
'48 thru '50 had a stainless steel "t" bar grille trim. The hood had the script "jeep"station sedan". From '49 and on the 4x4's had the script "4 Wheel Drive"
Starting in mid '50 they had a styling change that included larger grill with 5 horizontal chrome bars, the fenders have a rib on top and the hood has a thick rounded profile (at the radiator).
In '52 and '53 they were the same but now have the 3-winged hood ornament which are used on the station wagons only. The hood gets a horizontal chrome trim on both sides and so does the cowl.
'54 and '55 the changes were only that the grille now has 3 chrome bars; top, bottom, and center.
'56 grille changed the location of the chrome bars to top, bottom and up one from center. The stainless steel trim now goes from grille to taillight.
'56 1/2 and '57 was the same but they added the 4" hole on the passanger side of the grille for heater air intake.
'58 thru '64 grille went back to the 3 chrome bar locations of top, bottom and center. They also re-shaped the front turn signal to 2.5" dia.

I hope that somewhere in all that you find the answer to your question. The trucks have a few differences, mainly scripting...

The above info is courtesy of @Gojeep , who probably can identify the year for you, (and is building the coolest willys pickup of all time)

Hoss

 

Thank you Hoss,
I appreciate the information from your descriptions. I have the 4-in hole in the passenger side grill for the air intake. So it must be a 56 and a half or 57 do you know what model Jeep that would be ? Tom

 

To my knowledge, they are a simply called kaiser willys pickup trucks?

Yours is apparently a 1958 based on the first part of the serial number, 6-226 4WD pickup, 55268, and an early run based in the production serial numbers of that year being 40155-45814 (a total run of 5660 units built in that configuration)

Hoss

 

Thank you Hoss I greatly appreciate it. I don't have any other tags anywhere I can see in the engine compartment for a vehicle ID
