What year M35?

[Armada]

Hey guys, my buddy and I are trying to determine the year of his M35 so he can get it registered, etc. I know the year is in the ID# somewhere, but I'm not smart enough to know. I'm sure someone else knows. Thanks in advance!
Here is the reg. and vin #: 04D-70371 0539-10582

I think it's a '71, but someone who actually knows will chime in shortly.

Yep, 71, last two digits of the registration number. But that is only true in certain year models.

The Great Carnac knows all!!!

What Carnac said. All '71's available to check plates on have the same. For instance:

1971 GENERAL PRODUCT DIV MDL M35A2 CARGO TRUCK
VIN: 04K-60071-0525-22932

Thanks guys. Couldn't remember if it was the first 2 or the last 2 of the second group of #'s in the registration #, a '70 or '71. 04D-70371. Thanks for setting me straight.
