Data Tag location question

[broth9640]

Hey guys, I am trying to locate where the data tag is located that will show the date of manufacture. I know about the one in the engine bay that shows color, eng, etc. is there another data plate that has the year and month stamped on it? A picture would be really helpful since I am trying to have someone over seas inspect the car and takes pictures.
Model HZJ77 1990

What market is this truck in?

It would be off of the VIN/Frame number on the data tag in the engine bay. That would correspond to build.

Not exactly sure when they started putting month/year build in the door jamb data tags.

My 1985 only has the tire pressure information placard in the driver door jamb.

When I enter my frame into Toyodiy it gives me a month and year build.

BJ70-0004000= 10/1985

Ok, thanks.
So I will need to decipher the vin with a reference manual? It's not an obvious date number correct?

 

[OGBeno]

Get me your frame number/VIN and I can narrow it down for you.

0001516


Not positive, but I think that's the vin

 

[OGBeno]

so, HZJ77-0001516?

Shows 12/1990 BUILD.

Ok thanks, that's what I thought. The trick is getting Customs to believe you when the paperwork states 1991 since that was its registration date. I was hoping there would be a data tag with it stamped. There was some talk about it being stitched on a tag on the seatbelt, but that's not exactly a tamper proof thing and CBP prob won't except that as proof.

 

[OGBeno]

It's as 12/1990 manufacture for a 1991 model year.

Toyota in Japan should be able to get you that paperwork I would assume.

 

[broth9640]

Are you using Toyodiy.com
I can't get it to find any results with that frame number

 

[OGBeno]

Yes.

You have to put this in:

HZJ77-0001516

 

[broth9640]

Perfect! Thanks!
