Yardy, If you're on this website, you have all the information you need. A link to the CJ3A Information page: http://www.cj3a.info/cj3a/date3a.htm A link from CJ3B on jeep numbers. http://www.film.queensu.ca/cj3b/WOfigures.html There are differences between the CJ2A and the CJ3A but it would require you to do a bit more research, using this site and visiting the links page to check other sites, to catalog those differences. |

197864 could be a '48 CJ2A. 3A's started in '49, and have a prefix to the serial no, similar to what the 3B's have. Where did you find that number? On the left front frame horn or on a tag on the firewall, or elsewhere? BW |
