My AM General mutt is under contract DAAE07-79-D-5016 Serial 519994 D151-02014 the orig data plate has nothing in the date space and no Insp eagle
going to install an NOS engraved data plate and give the original one a place in the storage bin.....original one is scuffed up and nasty looking but will not discard it.

Dan....and that's how it should be ! When AMGeneral took over production in 72, the requirement to date and certify the plate was dropped by TACOM. If you check around, you won't find an original AMG plate that has these details stamped into the plate.daninnm wrote:the orig data plate has nothing in the date space and no Insp eagle
As yours is an ex-USMC plate from the directly delivered contract, your vehicle could be anywhere from 1980 to 1983 delivery.

ps... I'd be interested to know the body-number of your vehicle for my research
Kind regards....

02 = ?
KN = ?
55 = is that the week of mfg
71 = year of mfg.

Thanks in advance.

02 = 1/4-ton truck
KN = the next letters in the numbering sequence
55 = the next numbers in the numbering sequence
71 = year of mfg. correct
xxxxx = manufacturer's serial number (5-digits, not four)
Yours is (if you don't know already) a Ford A2 from Jan 1971

Thanks for the help Muttguru!
I'll have to double check but I thought I only saw 4 digits, not 5 in the sn.
