How To Locate Serial / VIN Numbers on Kaiser & AMC Jeep CJs

There are several places to look when trying to find the serial number / Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on a Jeep CJ. The exact location that the VIN number was stamped was moved over the years.

Look for a nice large data plate located on the dashboard to the left of the steering column.

Look for a small strip of metal riveted to the backside top of the Windshield Wiper Motor Cover. It can be seen by standing outside the driver's side of the jeep, looking through the windshield glass at the wiper motor cover.

Look for a data plate attached to the firewall, inside the engine compartment. Look on the firewall in front of both the driver as well as the passenger side.

Look on the side wall of the vehicle's frame right behind the Right Front Wheel Arch. Approximately just above the leaf spring mount.

Look on the top wall of the vehicle's frame at the top of the Right Rear Wheel Arch. Approximately top dead center of wheel arch.



here's some good info on the subject.... decoding numbers

sorry didn't mean to offend, or step on your nerve, but when I saw that your jeep was a 79, and after looking at your web site suggestion and your word for word quote, I just thought that I might need someone that has a 74 could go out and look for me.

I am nerveless. So no worries. But did you take my suggestion and actually go look at that spot? Passanger frame rail. On top. Just behind the radiator a few inches. With a wire brush. That's where my vin is factory stamped into the frame (not where the vin plate is).

Regarding your gratuitous use of smileys. Well :haha: you still need work.

The world is your chat section!:fawkdancesmiley:
And you and Tony quit giving this guy the answer, heck I may have to go out and check if the chime signal was not busy!!:eeek:

(I may have to give up giving toyota answers if somebody would ever see me answer a heep question)
