Serial numbers and dates

Hi,

My casting date is 8-17 and my Date of Delivery is 8-24-44.

Yours is 13 days after mine.

There is no direct relationship between engine numbers and chassis numbers as Willy’s engines went into other things like generators.

I’d estimate a DoD around 7th Sept ‘44 and a chassis number around MB37500.

For that date the body number should be around 116000.

It looks like you have a mis-matched body & chassis.

Scrumps….if by "chassis number around MB37500" you are indicating what would be stamped on the metal tag affixed to the left frame horn, remember that Willys started with "MB-100001".

Scrumps probably meant around 375000 and left off a zero

Hi,

Correct, fat fingers, my MB is 364XXX, hence the 375000(!) estimate.
