Kenny,

You want me to bring you all the deuce VIN numbers and registration numbers?

I seem to recall the AF numbers were also different.

David Doyle has blown my study right out of the water. I now yield everything to him.

Where can David Doyle's work be found?

-Chuck

He has authored several military vehicle books and is working on a book about the M35. He used to hang around here a pretty good bit but haven't seen him in a while. He seems to be real busy these days with books and being editor of Supply Line mag.

I guess we all need to collaborate on what numbers were made by who.

My M36A2C w/w, dropside, made in 1960 by Kaiser Jeep, VIN 0327-10489.

Good luck with the study,

or at least part of it! Rice and myself might have stumbled on to something with the VIN numbers and mfrs. I need to take a look and a number of VINs to see if there's a pattern. What I'm interested in is the last 9 numbers in the VIN and of those only the first 4.
Example; 0524-10045.
I'm only looking at the first 4, in this case 0524. If you don't want your VIN public just list it as 0524-xxxxx. Also please post the mfr of your truck aka AM General, Kaiser Jeep American Products Etc. I've posted the following list before.
0524- M275A2 wo/w
0525- M35A2 wo/w
0528- M49A2C
0530- M185A3 Im not sure if there are any built at this serial range
0532- M109A3
0534- M45
0535- M756A2
0536- M764
0539- M35A2 w/w
0540- M35A2C dropside
0546- M36A2


There has always been conflict but what we've been seeing is that the the last 2 digits of the first 4 denote body style. My list shows 0540 as a drop side, Rice's truck is a dropside and has 0940. In the 0525 the last 2 seem to denote a fixed side cargo (25). Now I'm wondering if the first one or two numbers might represent the mfr. This won't work with the 1950s trucks just the multifuelers from the mid sixties up. So, if you have those last 9 in the format like above please post them for my study. Might be nothing at all but deserves a looksee!

TIA
