This article helps you find your 1942 WWII Willys MB Jeep Engine serial number

This article applies to Willys MB WWII Military Jeeps 


1. Your WWII jeep serial number is an important part of finding the history behind your jeep. Each WWII jeep was assigned an individual serial number. On Willys and Fords, the Engine serial number was stamped on the block to the right of the Oil filler tube. On WWII Willys jeeps, the engine numbers are usually a higher number than the frame number (they didn’t match like fords).

2. Are there other serial numbers?
