The Identification tag is usually just inside the right side motor door on the upper right corner of the firewall. Similar to this one. There are a few people on northern tracks that can tell you the year by looking at the pics. Like location of the front heater, starter button on the floor, material used on the doors, etc. Post a few pics of inside & outside & I'll see what I can do to help you.

Orven I can't pick out the year. I'd say between a 47-50. There is a group in Norway that have a dozen or so of these old bombers & they have a few videos of them. Check out Northern Tracks to view them. Maybe they may be able to help you in getting your machine registered.
If you need help email me @ popsshed@hotmail.com Only too glad to help.

I have a paper manual for the 1949 b12cs model if you need a copy. There is a section in it about the old Chrysler flat head 6 (251) that they came with. A lot of people are now putting in a 300 Ford with a C6 trans.
What's in it now for a motor ?? Do it run ??

If you need rims, you can buy them new for $300.00 each (cdn). My friend had his sand blasted & had to patch a couple of old valve holes & drill new ones.
They turned out great. His differential was leaking due to a poor silicone job.So it had to come out & be repaired.
New 4.50 x 16" smooth tires are $ 145.00 (cdn) If you have big trouble with your transmission, you can fit a four speed trans from an old Dodge power wagon. Bolts right up.
Nice job. Looks like new.

Sorry to butt in.... this is my first time on any forums... getting ready to take another CAD class... would like to know if anyone can help with some info designing a B12... would like to used all jeep parts, as far as the engine and transmission goes. How does the transaxle work, being the engine/transmission is facing backwards? Would I be able to turn the ring and pinion gear the opposite side and achieve the vehicle to go in the direction I want to go?
