Hellow from the the deep south! First time forum user and just recently bought my first cj5 that I rescued from a south louisiana duck camp. My problem is I do not have a model year for her. I do have the serial #, engine serial#,and axle id's and ratio's.I had someone tell me that the first 4 numbers in the serial # can be dated. Is this true and if not how can I or can I date her. Positive Id on the cj5 part. Any help will be app.

Thanks I'll try that out. I did leave out some important info she is CJ 5 and built by Kaiser Jeep. I have the year narrowed down to between a 61 through 69. Her axles I believe are newer the front is a dana 27 the rear is a flanged dana 44. She also has an instrument cluster with the word NAVY written in the middle and the navy insig. across the bottom and nothing else military.
