Currently there are not enough entries in the areas of the gaps, to determine whether there are corresponding gaps in engine numbers, or whether they increase steadily.

Having more engine numbers might help clarify the significance of the large gaps in the list of serial numbers. "H" shows up in several different countries, "P" for India, and "Z" in Belgium. The letters L, R, S, T and U appear on Jeeps sent to Australia, and "R" also appears in the Netherlands. "A" appears once in our list, in South Africa, which may be why it wasn't used for Australia. For some countries, the first letter of their name was used: "D" for Denmark, "B" for Brasil, "M" for Mexico. The significance of the choice of letters is not clear, but they appear on Jeeps in a number of countries, so they were presumably added in Toledo.

Single letters were stamped at the end of the serial numbers of CJ-3Bs exported between 19. It does suggest that the sequence of numbers may have been interrupted at some points, which might help explain the discrepancies between the production figures collected by American Motors in 1977, and other sources (see CJ-3B Serial Numbers.) (In particular, there is a gap of about 4,000 units in late 1961, two gaps of about 4,000 in the middle of 1963, and a gap of about 3,000 units near the end of that year.) This is certainly an area which would bear some further research.

I'm not sure of the statistical significance of the distribution of the serial numbers, which seem to be in clusters with occasional larger gaps. (Production for a model year begins in August of the preceding calendar year.) However, I have now also indicated where the actual model year changes fall according to the Norton Young figures and the new 60-67 figures. The list includes the "OB" serial numbers at the beginning of 1954, but does not seem to shed much light upon their significance.Īfter 1961, the points where model years begin and end were unclear until recently, so I had changed the year of an entry only in cases where it was clearly off by more than one year. This corrects errors due to the original title being changed or lost, or the Willys practice of updating titles of unsold vehicles at the end of a model year. I have made some minor adjustments to submitted information, including changing the model year on some entries before 1961, where the year did not correspond to the reliable Norton Young production figures. Engine numbers are also included, where available and where the engine appears possibly original, but there are certainly some errors in that area. This list is ranked in order by serial number. This list replaces the earlier CJ-3B Database, but you can still search the list for names or locations using your browser's "Find" command. We are approaching 2,000 Jeeps on the list.

Please submit information on your CJ-3B if it is not yet included. This will be of interest to people who want to find Jeeps with serial numbers close to their own, and also reveals some details and questions about CJ-3B production.

The list of Jeeps on this page includes Willys Jeeps with serial numbers in the normal series (with prefixes 453GB2, 453GC2, 454GB2, OB54, 57348 or 8105).
