2F serial number info... (1 Viewer)

Not sure if it is original, but:


Oct, 1975, VIN #211412. Cannot find VIN on frame. Someone got a good photo of WHERE it appears of the frame?



Engine # 2F 074168

How does one know if it is an original engine?

Looks like the original engine.

The frame VIN is located here, though it's hard to see in this picture - outside of the front right frame rail:

Thanks for photo.

What tells you it might be original?

The number is right in line with all the others on the graph

Love the use of graphing theory to show originality. I thought you were going to tell me to look for a certain nick or bend on a bolt head or something non-mathematical like that.

1975 FJ40

I just acquired a mustard yellow 1975. Frame # and driver side door plate match and read FJ40197671. The door plate says that it was made in April 1975. Engine # is 2F016783, which according to SOR is appropriate for that time period.

1976 FJ40
VIN: FJ40207793
Door plate says Sep. 75, SOR puts it Aug. 75. Been the object of some debate.
Engine # 2F042095

Matches up according to SOR, so I feel pretty confident it's original.

is anyone still keeping a chart that shows numbers vs year? that was very cool...

I thought engine, frame and vehicle numbers were suppose to match if its original none of them on this thread match. Here is my tag of my 76 FJ40 FJ40-228015 engine is 101979 If my memory serves me right the manufacturing date is 08/76. Its not on the sticker I have off the fender.

Hi, I have a very confusing Vin #
Mine is way too high in comparison to other on MUD.

Its a 3/1979 FJ40. VIN on chasis, firewall and title is fj40-917505
2F serial # 352129.

Any thoughts on why that is?

It's a Venezuelan FJ40, dunno if it makes a difference as vin numbers should be a world wide thing

Newer FJ60 block maybe?

Actually the confussing part is the frame and firewall serial number, its 500,000 units newer than any on this list. Engine is spot on for the year/month

Photo of block and tag. Frame matches the tag
