Here's a pic of the page from the Willys mechanics manual that mentions the serial number's location. If anyone has a pic of a VIN in a non-stock location, I'd like to see it.

I just found the info that Jake posted in a thread from last year.  This picture:



Good info, but it looks like a summary that someone typed rather than manufacturer issued info.  I will keep looking.

The typeface (now called font) is the factory's. I've seen this memo in more than one place. This is the one I was referring to.

OK guys, that's good enough for me.  I will look some more. Thank you all for the responses. 

I'm assuming the "right" side is the passenger side of the car, but I am checking both sides.

Since this subject recently came up and the link showing the info is dead, here it is again. Copied from Rick Kamen's post on the Aero FB page.

The right and left hand side of a car is as though you are sitting in the drivers seat.  For American cars the left side is the drivers side and the right side would be the passengers side.
