Strange VIN number

Evening all,
I have a VIN number on a Jeep i purchased that does not match any of the decoders I have tried. The third digit in my VIN is a number instead of a letter. Can anyone tell me why or what the 7 means? All other VIN identifiers are good except the 3rd place. That 7 should be an A, F, or M. Anyone know why it is a 7?
J5783AH
 

Dies the plate look altered. Does it match the title?

My bad... reading a bit more, it was not until 1981 where the standardized VIN was established.

Prior to 1981 you need to contact the mfg.
To understand the number meaning.
