I got another cj5

well, I got another cj5 this mourning. from the vin I think its a 1973.
It has a I6, d20 t-case, d30/d44 and I'm not sure what transmission.
It has a tailgate
and it is also a little rusty.

I'll post pictures of it later on today

 

heres a picture of the vin, can anyone tell me what transmission it has from this?

J518917
9 492 422
J3F835TA68001 8300


Thanks,
-Matt

 

J3 = Jeep 1973
F = 3-speed manual, Toledo built
83 = CJ-5
5 = open body
T = std 3750 GVWR
A = 258 regular compression
68001 = sequential serial number

 

thanks!

 

Borg-Warner T-14 with a 258.
492 = Jet-Set Blue Poly (metallic)
422 = trim code - don't know.

 

IIRC J518917 is the invoice #, and 9 is an internal Jeep factory code. 8300 is probably the model number - redundant with the VIN.

 

Cool Jeep man! With those rusted front fenders, it's a perfect time/reason to go with flat fenders.

Do you have any plans for it already?

 

Thanks Timgr atriot:

thanks. first I plan to get it running. Then I plan to either cut up the fenders, strengthen the frame and floor, add a front section to the cage and put my tj's 33"tsl radials on it or use it for a swamp buggy for big cypress; take the body off, strengthen the frame, and make a platform.

 

422 = black vinyl buckets (std equipment)
