45-49 CJ2A Serial & Date Numbers Info Page

I will upon request or an authorization add a link for your serial number. This way people can go to your web page and look at your CJ and or progress. They might also find some helpful information at your site.

So if you have submitted your numbers to me and want or don't mind me adding a link to your page, send me a private message with your serial number and the link for your page or site.
I think this will be one more way to help people out.
I will add them in ASAP...

I will be adding the following field in this week sometime:
Date stamp on the engine (oil pan mounting surface)

If anyone would like to see other fields that we can add info to please let me know and I will add them in.

Sean has been doing some incredible research on the blocks, dates etc. So everyone get him your information and pics if you can.

One thing pointed out to me by GaryArf, he told me when I first picked up my jeep that this is such a small community and also there is not a lot of them out there. Also there is not a lot of documentation for the older CJ's.
So its up to ALL of us to try and help out when and where we can.
Thanks everyone for you time... AGAIN!! LOL

I do have engine #42xxx that I will drop in it someday. I know the rear axle date is 8-28-45 and the front axle date is 8-27-45. The column shift tranny is dated 7-20-45 and I can't see the whole tag on the end of the transfer, but the first letter is definitley the letter H......I've been following your progress on your 45....    Heck, I follow everybody's progress here on the 2A page. I am on a streak right now on finding jeep parts, mainly MB and GPW parts, so I havent' got time to post...... just time to gather jeep parts

Thanks I added what numbers you gave me. Shoot me the rest when you find them. Just to make sure I got it right:
Tranny date of 7-2-45 is the cast date on the side of the trans above the shifters correct?

Dave45........the engine is CJ2A 42XXX, instead of an MB prefix.   I also have another engine

Question about the "frame serial numbers".  I do not have a tag on the frame, but I have the serial number tag (and body tag) on the firewall.  Are you referring to the tag on the frame when you say "frame serial number"?

EDIT: Okay, I just looked at the database again and answered my own question.  I see you're referring to the actual tag on the frame.  I don't have one of those.  Is it the same number as the serial number tag on the firewall?

What about the tags on the pass. side of the firewall.  I don't see a place for those numbers in the database?

According to this:
Production Information

Year	Starting s/n	Ending s/n	Units built
1945	10001	11824	1824
1946	11825	83379	71554
1947	83380	148458	65078
1948	148459	222581	74122
1949	222582	224764	2182

100437 would be a 1947

Low, I have what is left of CJ2A #10913....no tailgate, no firewall tags, but I still have the frame tag which is the same # as dashplate. The toegusset # is 743. No engine, someone changed over the tranny to a floor shift, but I still think it is the original front and rearends....I will check the dates and let you guy's know......

Back again.LOL

I added index tabs to the site so you can just look at a certain category at one time instead of having to look at the whole table. This way if you want to say just look at the transfer case area it will only show them.

Hope this helps make things easier.

Remember to submit those numbers when you find them.

Some things that having the database for me I have learned.
I thought something was weird having 10231 and a tcase serial number of J 411788 but the casting date was right on and it had the 3/4 shaft , and the 46 I have 17458 having a tcase serial of J 1960 and it's date stamp was correct and had a 3/4 shaft.
I had talked with Sean for days on this. We could only come up with  at that  time that  maybe they were left over MB cases with  cj2a gearing. Now that Garyarf posted his tcase serial of J 393999 maybe this is proof that the early ones had MB cases and cj2a gears. Its still an assumption at this point but there is a little light now instead of complete darkness.
So keep the numbers coming!!

Thanks David
