Finding actual build date of an m1097r1 ?

[hmmwv-newbie]

The rebuild date is 2005 but when was it actually built? Will they put that on the sf-97? I ask because it will be much easier to insure and title it if its over 25 years old which I suspect it likely is.

It is likely it will be a 2005, the only place I know of that had the original date or original serial number was on the data plate they removed when they re-built it

What is your serial number and body number?

 

[Mogman]

I suspect he got it out of Springtown, it likely has a 5XX,XXX or 6XX,XXX serial number, body number means nothing in the context of titling it, the SF-97 will be the serial number/year that was listed in the sale.
Dang I just realized my 1992 and 1993 trucks may actually have more value to some folks

I just looked back at several M1097A1s that sold in Springtown, most did not list the actual serial number OR include a picture of the data plate, now that I sloppy/lazy work!! unless there is something more nefarious going on.....
EDIT, it looks like they might pull the picture of the data plate and XXX the serial number after the sale, I just never noticed that before

 

[hmmwv-newbie]

It was from Hooks but you’re close

 

[Mogman]

I see they sold one listed as a 1986 with a 700K serial number, geez...
Fact is whatever the SF-97 says is the final word, hopefully not being 25 years old will not be a big problem...

They pull em after the Auction cause some states, like Tennessee, I can title that truck with 4 pictures of the truck and one of the data plate before the euc is done or even a SF97

One of my 1097R1 it's a 1999 with a 2009 rebuild

3 speed is going to be an 85-94 DOD…4 speed is 95-2006 DOD
and no, GP is not going to let you pick your model year if the truck has a model year in the listing.
