Something dumb on the jeep? Sounds like that's your plan, there's plenty out there already hacked. Why not start with one of those??

That number on the toeboard brace isn't going to help you a whole lot if that's the only you have.

Eh its fine, as long as i can get tags for it i can care less what numbers are on it. Its old stuff happens. Only thing kool about the numbers would be if it told me history on it.

When you're involved in an accident and the investigating officer goes to compare the number on the registration with the number on the vehicle, you're goin' to have some 'splainin' to do, Lucy. Oh, by the way, let us know how that air cleaner works out. Believe it or not, that thing will not pass enough air to feed an L134 at 10,000 ft. AMHIK. BW

Well, uh, that's kinda what I was talking about......you may "can care less what numbers are on it" but I'm thinking the Arkansas DMV may have a different 'care tolerance' than you do. So you already have a serial number that you can get tags for it with then? |

Ask dad about the tags... they are definitely there in one of your OP pics.
Check the title you have against any possible frame tag before you run off to the DMV. If you do get past the nice lady at the DMV I'd invest in some repop tags if you can't find the originals. This last part is just me... i'm sure everything is fine, but I didnt even put gas in mine until I had a new title in my name. 0.02

I can just save a lot of money by putting the jeep in reverse and leaving the accident? lol joking I was wondering if that filter was going to work its off a vw beetle I just did not like the org air cleaner setup so I just put that on it. I do plan on putting the oil bath back on after its painted but just running a rubber hose to it when I need it.

well lol funny story! called my dad last night and now he says he doesn't know where the title is. this is the dmv's website Requirements:
1) Affidavit for license for an Antique Vehicle completed by the applicant. 2) If the vehicle is already titled and registered to the applicant, the registration certificate or other acceptable proof of ownership which includes the year, make, model, and vehicle identification number; OR 3) If the vehicle is not titled and registered to the applicant, the following: a) The previous title, if available, or if not, bills of sale reflecting the year, make, model, and vehicle identification number; OR b) If the vehicle is assembled from a variety of sources, the owner may present bills of sale for the principal parts. The bills of sale should indicate the source and include the motor or body serial number. If only one bill of sale is presented, the customer will be informed that he or she must use the Bonded Title Procedures for issuance of title |

Yes indeed welcome aboard. There is a ton a great information here. I highly recommend using the search function. Just about any upgrade or repair you are considering has been discussed here. Understanding the braking system and brake upgrades is particularly important, and not something to undertake without a thorough understanding of the system. There is a lot of great info on 10"and 11" drum brakes, and disc brake conversions here. A little bit of time with the search function will reap great rewards.

Lol... tell your dad it's with the tags  with the title and firewall tags in the wind I'd be hesitant to try and title it with just the frame tag number (if that even exists) I love your dad, lol, but my gut is telling me those tags might be running around on another rig  ... a.k.a. can't think of another good reason to pull the tags.I've not done it, but I think you have to have a number that comes up clean to get a bonded title. My concern would be if you applied for a frame tag number it may come back as in use during a title search... All of the above is pure speculation, and a polite way of suggesting you get your paperwork straight before you invest a lot of time and money in something you can't register (without purchasing "historical/for collecting only" documents )MB

RIGHT! im not going to make it nice and paint it if i cant drive it around town.. i would just leave it as is and make it a woods beater but i really rather not do that... i just got off the horn with a super nice lady at the dvm who knows a lot about old stuff like this and she said for me to get the engine, chassis, and body s.n and call her back Monday and she will get me a bonded title or at least try to. YAY

Yeah, the search function can be a little quirky, but all the Google hits just shows how much great info there is here. Nothing wrong with asking questions too, just saying a lot of what you want to know may already be at your fingertips. The only downside is some of the old posts had photos linked to photobucket. Due to photobucket changes in their linking policy, many of those photos are no longer visible without going to their site. And that is a real PITA.

First off, there are a lot of guys around here that "knows about old stuff like this" too and have already been through the DMV scenarios.... You might want to glance through this link on SERIAL Numbers: What others here have been trying to tell you is in your first pictures there are serial number tags on your jeep (or were)......in your later pics those tags (we are using this term as i.d. tags....you seem to be using that term as ''license plates' ) are obviously taken off....which is where you may have trouble. The stamped number in your picture you are pointing out where you mentioned cowboy is the ACM number (read up on that a little).....this should not be confused with it being a serial number...it's not. Your dad (or someone) may have removed the actual serial number tags and used them to register ("get tags for" in your jargon) in the State of Arkansas....if this is the case the original numbers for this jeep are running around somewhere else....THAT is what the DMV is going to be interested in. The numbers the nice DMV lady asked for...so, the "engine" (number doesn't match serial number anyway) "chassis number" (not one unless there is a number plate still riveted to the frame horn) which will be the actual serial number of this jeep and "body number" she asked for are all going to be different numbers. IF you give her a number that is riveted to that jeep and the id tags have been used on another jeep then that will probably (or should be) a red flag at the DMV. I ( and others) have been trying to say...you need to get with your Dad and try to figure why the id tags are missing and whether they are in some drawer there or what. Regardless, read that link on serial numbers and maybe that will help some. |
