I've been particularly fond of these large speedos on the CJ3s since childhood (evocative with the large font, the missing zeros and the conspicuous red needle) - whether in mph or the later kph calibrated ones. We usually tend to change it to the more common military style folding top or the scissor top as its popularly known. This is not common here as it’s cumbersome to strip as it’s supported by a number of rods. I have followed the original design and layout for a CJ as prescribed. Regarding the rear arched top panel, I guess you’re talking about the canvas top and its assembly. From this I would presume that my jeep is from the US and was probably the 16028th jeep assembled/sold by M&M in 1958. The number stamped on my chassis is 57348 49753 in line with the Willys Overland serial number/frame number format in the US. 1955 onwards: 57348 12345 in which the first two digits represented universal jeep line, the third digit - body type, the fourth digit number of cylinders and the fifth digit represents the drive - all wheel drive and the following 5 digits the serial number or frame number.Īs per the M&M plate my serial number is: CJ3B 16028, and my Chassis number is 49753.
The Cj3a shared a similar serial number format from 51 to 53 with the exception of the model series number being '1'.Ģ.
The following 5 digits represented the serial number or frame number. 'G' denoted the chassis type, 'B' the body type and '2' the model series. From 1953 to 1954 - 45X GB2 12345 in which the first number indicated the number of cylinders, the second coupled with X (3 or 4) denoted the year for eg: 53 or 54. Now the serial number on the jeeps in the US was nothing but the frame/chassis number and was usually in the following two formats and could be found on a serial number plate screwed onto the passenger side firewall under the hood:ġ. I am presuming the former serial number was given by M&M. The M&M plate you see on the dash has a serial number, chassis number and an engine number of which the later two match my jeep. I have not been able to find much information on the subject, but broadly can say that they were initially importing complete jeeps/assembling and later manufacturing. It is well known that M&M got the dealership from Willys Overland in late 1946. Is there any way you can get rid of the arched rear, top panel, does not go well here. boot, you still can get the original in Hyd. The Mahindra plate on an LHD, I am asking myself, why did Mahindra assemble or sell a LHD Jeep in a RHD country? I always was under the impression that RHD Jeeps only were assembled, manufactured or retailed in India. Great effort and job on a very well done restoration!
