When I first began the process of creating the reproduction VIN sticker formats, I initially thought that Kaiser started using VIN stickers on the CJ-5 during the 1969 model year. I used Google Sheets to create these, which will allow me to update them as additional images of original VIN stickers become available over time, and for the reader to see the most recently added information via the links below.Īs a preface, here's a scan of two pages from Mark Olsen's 2006 guide to decoding the 1971 and prior CJ serial numbers:
I've set up two databases, one for 1970-71 and one for 1972-75 CJ-5's. This is to ensure that no one could potentially use them to try to claim a Jeep they don't own. Please note that no owner or location information is included in these databases.
I thought I'd share what I've come up with here on this forum, as others may also find it helpful. This information will primarily be useful in determining the approximate date (month and year) that a 1970-75 CJ-5 which is missing its original VIN sticker was manufactured. Several people have asked if I'd created a database of the information gleaned from these original VIN sticker images, and I'm glad to say that I've finally gotten around to doing that. As some of you are aware, a couple of years ago I began helping Early CJ owners replace their original VIN stickers by providing the reproduction artwork and coordinating with a printer to produce the new stickers (see Dash Vin Sticker Artwork For 1970-1979 Cjs )Īs a byproduct of that effort I've gathered a number of images of original VIN stickers, both from the internet and from owners who wanted to have their original stickers replaced.
