VIN Troubles

Did the search on finding VIN and no joy, nothing in the usual and unusual places.

Took it to CHP and he spent an hour looking everywhere.  He's going to do more research and check with other folks, but we're both trying to avoid worst-case - He asked how difficult it would be to remove the tub if we need to search other places.  I laughed and told him 7-8 hours (no idea, but I know it's not a simple or quick task).

Any ideas, help or suggestions on either where to look or more importantly how to prove it's a '47 2A?

He's hung up on the year.  He gets it's a CJ2A but wants to confirm the year before he assigns it a new/clean VIN.

Thanks,

AMC tub number should at lest be there unless it’s a replacement. 

Good luck
