[Ken Hurst]

I recently got a CJ vin# 57548 144774 , pulled it out of the woods, don't know the year, I tried the decoder to no avail. Can someone fill in the blanks for me? thx

My guess is somewhere in 1963-1965.

The battery box lid on the cowl disappeared in the early 60s....I have see no reason to doubt what steadyfoot found
