Great forum guys keep it up'
I have what in all appearances to be a valid M170 which I plan to restore. It is proper Length and configuration, holes in the tailgate, ambulance bows, etc. Body in in decent shape and relatively complete with no serious defects or flaws. It doesn't have the correct engine but I have an early M38A1 engine to rebuild and put in it.
It has early M38A1 style fenders (diagonal fender seams).
But, the only serial no. plate or data plate I have is the patent plate on the rear passenger side fender well and it appears (age, rusted screws, paint over, etc.) to be original to the truck.
This plate however is of the civilian type (raised numbers ). The number is 57548 136147 which from what I gather from web research to be a civilian CJ-5 but the last six numbers do not compute.
Any comments and help in deciphering my quandary would be greatly appreciated.
