	Here's a pretty informative write-up and original Willys service bulletins to help identify that Willys barn find you just discovered. http://circlekf.com/kfhandbook/kfoci%20handbook-pdf%20files/KFOCI%20HANDBOOK%20V... I tried to upload the actual PDF here but the file size exceeded the site's limitation. Not sure if it would be appropriate for a moderator to permanently post it somewhere on the 3A page or not.

	Thanks Ryan. I was told '52 and the key tag said '50's so this helps me a lot.

	Hi, my CJ3A, SN 38604, has been produced earl in 1950. I cannot find any more precise information - month for instance. Has somebody some figure. The owners of the nearest SN in the database have no detail. Thanks.

	There is a possible typo in Bob Westerman's book during this time period. Based on his other data, I will speculate that 38604 was built in early to mid September 1949. Hawk

	Hi Bob, Page 60. CJ-3A 392xx Estimated build date mid-November 1949. Followed by, CJ-3A 409xx Estimated build date mid-October 1949. CJ-3A 415xx Estimated build date early November1949. The timelines seem out of sink with the listed serial numbers, So I guessed that you might mean 392xx was actually mid-September? Tim

	I see what you are saying. That is not a typo. Those entries were derived from data obtained from surviving original vehicles. Even when the data did not fit the expected pattern, I still included it. Maybe the vehicle wasn't so original after all. Maybe someday the data will make sense. In any event the data is there.
