They all had the same response at this point. It was never punched because there was no socket to go in it. If the inspection guys were jerks, one even smacked my fender with his fist fairly hard 'because sometimes there's a loose connection', I would let them remove the reflector and be confronted with no wiring to it, there isn't even a cross hole in the back where you stick the bulb socket in and twist.

Anything they built after Jan 1st got the wiring harness). (Chevy started putting the reflectors in for the new model year but just no wiring harness. If they were nice I would tell them it was made in '67 as a '68 model and only vehicles manufactured after had to have side markers. Depending on my mood and their attitude would depend on how I answered. They would never notice that all four were out. They would always try to ding me because 'the side marker light is out'. I was resided in MA for a while and loved taking it to the vehicle inspection station there. Since those look kind of 'grafted' on, im going to guess its a very early 68, prolly made using leftover 67 metal, so jeep had to come up with a way of getting rid of the parts, i would assume by the mid-late 68 model year they would have been placed in their more usual locationĪlong those lines I have a '68 Chevy half ton. StanĭZG wrote:68 was the first model year that DOT requires sidemarkers. Any comments or suggestions on how to continue the search? Thanks for any help. The PO bought it new but no longer has any documents. My best information so far is probably Sept/October of 1969 and since model year started Sept 1st it would be sold/titled as a 1970. Mine has the F134 engine, serial number is 4J504823B. Some JEEP websites indicate the first digit (2) of the last six numbers also indicates a F134 engine. I'm hoping someone has a JEEP with a sequence serial number close to this that might help me ID the Month/year that mine was made. The last 6 numbers (261676) is the sequence serial number that started when KAIZER MOTORS acquired WILLYS OVERLAND in about 1960. From the information I have been able to collect from the internet the first 7 numbers identify it as a CJ5 Universal, Open (no cab), left hand drive, 4 cylinder F134 engine. The Serial Number plate on the left side firewall engine compartment is JEEP/KIAZER JEEP CORPORATION/TOLEDO, OHIO and the numbers are: 8376. I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me with the year my CJ5 was made.
