Wrong year rear?
Wrong year rear?
by markevo30 » Thu Mar 24, 2016 3:43 pm
I'm going to view a '64 11 window tomorrow but I have my suspicions that something isn't quite right.
The chassis number is 1277*** which would make it a '64. What year was the big window and wider tailgate introduced? The JK guide says it wasn't until '66, is this right?
Any feedback would be much appreciated as I don't want to make a mistake and buy a butchered bus.

Thanks again guys. Looks like the jk guide was red herring and now I'm looking forward to viewing the bus again.
