Willys MB 349858

I purchased this Jeep in 1985 in Arizona. Body number is original and is consistent with a July 1944 delivery date. Hood number is mostly original (see URL for photo's). 20620xx1 was found on both sides of the hood. 6th & 7th digits are not 1,2,4, or 7 and probably not 0 because they appear to have the center cross over of a 3,5,6,8 or 9. Chose 36 to match up with the last 4 digits of the July 1 block (440361) that I will be installing. DOD is an estimate from Rene Rovai. The original frame plate was destroyed when a "bubba" bumper was replaced. Serial number estimate based on numbers legible in old photo. First five numbers "34985" are clear. Last number is a best interpretation of a high resolution scan. Generator & distributor have July '44 date codes. This Jeep had a post war engine that was stamped MB 4398xx (also consistent with July '44 d.o.d., which I've removed and replaced with a Dec '43 engine purchased from David Morganthall). It will eventually be replaced with MB440361 cast 7-1 (44).
