Back to
Decoding Jeep Vehicle VIN Numbers
1975 to 1986 Jeep CJ VIN
numbers are usually located in several possible locations.
You should find a tin plate on the drivers side firewall
near the brake master cylinder. You may also find one
on the drivers side dash or the inside body panel by the
floor near the parking brake lever. On mid 80's models
it should also appear on the windshield wiper motor cover
inside the Jeep. An abbreviated version is
usually found on the top of the passenger side frame rail
above the rear wheel.
See the
Jeep Spotters Guide for help
identifying your Jeep.
