Trying to find some info on the histo/org eqpt of this Jeep. Pretty sure it was USBP. Any pointers? Everything I've found for info is for newer or older Jeeps, and my serial/VIN has no letters...





This is beat up but says something about a special sales order.

Your VIN should decode as:
"84" stands for Universal CJ-6
"05" stands for Open Body
"0" stands for Universal or Roadster Open Body (Jeepster)
"1" stands for Left Hand Drive
"7" stands for V6-225 With Emission
"051334" is the Sequential Serial Numbers
Your engine build code should be located on the right side of the cylinder block, just below the rocker arm cover and between the exhaust manifold ports.
Hopes this helps, Wayne

Yeah, I'm a dough-head. I somehow got it in my head that it wasn't a normal VIN since it didn't have any letters. After I looked at some dofferent decoding info closer, it made sense. Thanks. :oops:
