    ***Taken from the m38a1 page.***

    Data Plate. Start with the data plate located on the passenger side dash just under the 'grab bar'. This is the first and easiest place to see if the plate is intact with the serial number, date of delivery (DOD) and inspector's initials. Be aware that these plates could have been swapped from vehicle to vehicle to represent an 'original' or 'authentic' matching numbers vehicle. They are also available in reproduction as are the backing plates and rivets.


    Standard Dataplate location on front dash under grab bar.

    Also the data plate in the jeep in question is pop riveted on, military one are not pop rivets. And that data plate is in the civilian spot.

    Enjoy!

    Need a picture of the front of the grill (full view) and a photo of the front fender taken from the side, and possibly of the drivers whole bodyside. These photos would give you more ideas, as they would show the front turn signals, side markers and rear markers and the edge of the hood. these would be more definitive in telling what year it is.

    Assuming it's all original, without bottom mounted wipers I don't think '69, but with dash layout I believe at least '68.
