I think this little jeep is a '47 or '49. If that's the original grill, it's not a '46 because of the parking lights. I believe in'48, the bow pockets were on the passenger side and the spare tire was on the drivers side... I don't know if this is true for all '48's though. Little help little brother... the tub looks pretty solid though.

Oh Todd... not all 48 have the bow pockets and spare switched (leftys)That was a short time they did that. Not sure of the start and stop with the serial numbers. I can unusually tell a 49 by the fenders and other small changes as willys transitioned to the 3a.I'd like to see the floors and hats to see how solid it is

Lots of Lefty questions and research here -- http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/calling-all-leftys_topic16021_page1.html - For a short period of time, March, 3rd through April,14th of 1948, the factory switched the normal location of the spare tire mount to the driver-side which in turn necessitated the bow pockets to be moved to the passenger-side. The serial number range was serial # range of 176,061 through 185,769 ... though there were some exceptions.
