AMC strayed away from the traditional Jeep front end design. A VIN number is a 17 character alpha/numeric serial number unique to each vehicle, by manufacturer, make, model and year. Each character in the VIN number can be decoded to determine where the car was built, what year, which automotive features are included and more. Together, all the VIN numbers create a history about your Buick. This is the Jeep VIN decoder. Every Jeep car has a unique identifier code called a VIN. This number contains vital information about the car, such as its manufacturer, year of production, the plant it was produced in, type of engine, model and more.
Seiko watches value serial numbers. Each Seiko watch has a unique serial number that can be used to identify the specific series, model and year of the watch. Because Seiko produces a variety of designs, styles and brands, the serial number becomes the main identification tag for each product. Although the serial number may be difficult to see unless you use a light and a magnifying glass, deciphering the model number will help you identify a genuine Seiko watch. Seiko watches have a 6 or 7 character serial number on their casebacks. The second character can be a letter but the rest are all numbers. You can use the Seiko serial number in conjunction with the movement number to calculate the year of manufacture.

Here's the fuller story. Until sometime in 1948, Willys outsourced the production of the body to American Central Manufacturing (ACM). ACM stamped a sequential number on the tubs on the driver side toe board gusset. These so-called ACM numbers began their numbering at 1 whereas the Willys serial numbers began with 10001. Willys also attached a body number plate on the tub along with a serial number plate. The Willys body numbers were almost always the same as the Willys serial number. For instance that is the case for both of my 2As, one being an early '46 and the other being a mid year or later '47. So, the tub ACM number was always approximately 10,000 less than the VIN and Willys body number as long as ACM was producing the tubs. At some point during 1948, Willys brought the tub manufacturing in-house. From evidence collected from surviving Jeeps, it appears that Willys elected to continue numbering tubs where ACM left off. The wrinkle in that is that they would have duplicated approximately 10,000 Willys body numbers had the started that immediately since the Willys body number were already 10,000 ahead of the ACM numbers. So, Willys produced approximately 10,000 2As in 1948 that had no body number until they started installing body number tags that resumed numbering where the ACM numbers stopped. Sean has a post in the earlier referenced thread illustrating that: http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/serial-number-question_topic11122_post90801.html#90801
Now, with respect to Willys engine numbers, those engine numbers started out being almost identical to the VIN understanding that engines were not necessarily installed in Jeeps in the exactly the same sequence. More importantly, over time, engine numbers began to diverge more and more form VIN numbers because engines were diverted from normal production for a variety of reasons. One example is that the L-134 was also used in free-standing generators. Also, engines were used as replacement engines for dealer maintenance of failed engines. By 1948, this difference widened to more than 10,000. So, there are two differences of 10,000 or more that are in play here. My theory is that your original VIN which is currently unknown to us is approximately 10,000 more than your Willys body number which I think was by then in the ACM number sequence and that your original engine number was more than 10,000 greater than your VIN - probably almost 15,000 greater than the VIN. That is why I am relatively confident that your title is the right one for your Jeep because, as odd as it may sound, the disparate numbers make sense in the scenario I have described. For some real world examples of this situation, take a wander through Sean's CJ-2A Data Page where many real world Jeeps' data are posted. Finally, for the benefit of future readers, I am going to go back and add a note to the earlier post where I suggested that your VIN probably equaled your body number, something I no longer think.
