My opinion is....and it's only that ......
Make......Willys Model......CJ2A ( or CJ2A Jeep) Body style...2dr. (because they aren't going to call it a '1/4 ton truck' and because thats what most insurance calls it) Good luck. |

And the rest of the story is...if you are going to use that 121311 number....that actually makes it a 1947.

Google...cj2a serial numbers....Google knows everything (if you ask the right question)
There are very easy to read charts...no "decoding" involved. 1947 serial numbers run from 83381 to 148458. Easy-peezy... |

Your 3 looked a lot like an 8 to some of us.
Have you tried the old trick of putting a piece of paper over the number and rubbing lightly with the side of a pencil to get a print of the number? Sometimes that will help more than anything else. I wouldn't worry about using a number that never existed. All of them in that range existed once. Some still do. If you use one that is still around it could be troublesome. More so if it happens to still exist in your state.

Well OK then.
Just being careful. Since I am looking at this from the view point of having the number on the inside of the frame rail, I just expect it to be hard to read. Having it on the outside could be considered as some improvement over the earlier ones.

I agree....,but that top sure could be an 8. BUT the bottom has a definate stopping point.
I would call it a 3. |

To ease your mind yours could be totally legit.....a leftover '46, sold and titled in '47. They used to do that.
Sounds worry free to me. |

I agree. We are seeing some corrosion or something that makes the rest of the upper circle appear to be there. BW

I looked at that 3 for a solid 20 minutes trying to figure out if it was a 3 or 8.
I never thought of the paper trick ill have to do that to my engine number for sure
