I would like to know if my 1961A1 engine number MD 63704 is a match with vin number 86606. Since I found the Ft Ord metal plate on the side of the crankcase I am thinking it is a replacement engine but maybe it is the original and rebuilt.
Also, I saw some pictures on the G503 site that shows a 1962restored jeep with nickel plated? bolts. Earlier jeeps I have seen appear to have cad plated or yellow/gold looking bolts. Is there a standard on the plating or were both used?
Yellow cadmium was most common. I would image an occasional zinc set will show up since some of the hardware specs say either or. _________________ Wes K

Since unlike the WWII jeeps we have no factory documentation to support the delivered serial numbers and a very small data base of existing engines ththe closest (WAG) I could take a wild poke at is a chassis serial about 3000 to 5000 less than the engine serial. _________________ Wes K
