Dodge VIN Decoder 1946-1980: Classic Serial Numbers

Where's my serial number?

Late 1960s and later: usually on a small plate on the dashboard, visible through the windshield on the driver's side.
Earlier cars: it varies by make and year. Common places are the driver's door pillar or hinge post, the steering column, the firewall, or near the glove box. Each make's page lists what our sources say.
Paperwork: your title and registration also show it.

Example: 83900001 (an example Dodge serial).

Years we cover

Where sources disagree

PILOT labels the WDX as 1947-48 and the first B-1-PW as 1948-49; T137 labels the WDX 1946-47 and splits B-1-PW 1948 / 1949. T137 used.
This format is digits only, and many makers used plain numeric serials in these years. A match here does not by itself show the car or truck is this make; check the make on the vehicle and its paperwork.

1960

Looks like 1160119594 (10 characters)

1 Model code	11: D-100 two-wheel drive half-ton [TWN_HT]
2 Engine	6: Flat-head six [TWN_HT]
3 Digit before the sequence	0: Shown as 0 in the 1960 examples (the 1961 format has plant 1 here) unconfirmed [TWN_HT] [T137]
4 Sequence number (100001 and up)	119594 [TWN_HT] [T137]

Where sources disagree

TWN_HT says the 1960 starting frame numbers are unclear; the range 100001 upward is our reading of its examples and T137.
This format is digits only, and many makers used plain numeric serials in these years. A match here does not by itself show the car is this make; check the make on the car and its paperwork.

UNCONFIRMED layout: TWN_HT gives the 1960 frame/VIN examples 1160119594 (P6-D100), 2160119263, 1180119354 and 2180119481, and says the true starting numbers are unclear (its list is "numbers higher than known frame numbers"). T137 lists the 1960 WM300 start as 2460-100001. The 1960 half-ton parts-availability numbers are different (06D1-L100001) and are not VIN.

1961

Looks like 1161100000 (10 characters)

1 Model code	11: D-100 [VMT]
2 Engine	6: Six-cylinder [VMT] [TWN_HT]
3 Assembly plant	1: Warren Truck Plant, Warren, Michigan [VMT]
4 Sequence number (1961 range 100,000 to 159,999)	100000 [TWN_HT]

Where sources disagree

VMT gives no per-year sequence ranges for 1961-69; the year boundaries here come from TWN_HT and T137 start numbers and assume numbers are issued in one continuous sequence across truck lines at plant 1. That assumption is not stated by any source.
Plants 2, 6 and 7 are not covered because no source says whether they used the same sequence.
This format is digits only, and many makers used plain numeric serials in these years. A match here does not by itself show the car is this make; check the make on the car and its paperwork.

Ten-character Dodge truck number: two-digit model code, cylinders (6 or 8), plant digit, six-digit sequence (VMT). The half-ton starting numbers in TWN_HT (for example 1181460747 = D100 V8 2WD, 1965) read as the model code 11, 6/8, plant 1 and sequence.

Year is inferred from the sequence range, not from a year character; the ranges were all published as starts only, and the same start numbers appear in two independent tables (TWN_HT and T137) for 1962-1966.

Model codes not listed in VMT are rejected.

1 Make / engine character	4: Dodge Six [FBO65]

4 Assembly plant	1: Lynch Road, Detroit [FBO65] [FBO64]
5 Sequence number	100001 [FBO65]

Where sources disagree

The first-character chart is a forum post attributing the data to Allpar; no second independent table for 1960-63 was found.
This format is digits only, and many makers used plain numeric serials in these years. A match here does not by itself show the car is this make; check the make on the car and its paperwork.

US-built cars only; Canadian-built cars used different numbers and are not decoded here.

Where sources disagree

VMT gives no per-year sequence ranges for 1961-69; the year boundaries here come from TWN_HT and T137 start numbers and assume numbers are issued in one continuous sequence across truck lines at plant 1. That assumption is not stated by any source.
Plants 2, 6 and 7 are not covered because no source says whether they used the same sequence.
This format is digits only, and many makers used plain numeric serials in these years. A match here does not by itself show the car is this make; check the make on the car and its paperwork.

Where sources disagree

Engine E: MOT lists E (1966) as '318-2 (trucks)'.
CCV's engine-letter list for 1968-74 and 1975-80 differs from MOT/BLOG in several letters (J, K, L, N, P, U, V); the table here follows MOT and BLOG, which agree with each other for 1966 and 1971.

Car line letters are shared across makes. The make attached to each letter is inferred from the model names the sources give for it.

1966-67 plant codes are digits; letters start in 1968 (IMP: Imperial plant 3 in 1966-67, C from 1968).

Where sources disagree

CCV's engine-letter list for 1968-74 and 1975-80 differs from MOT/BLOG in several letters (J, K, L, N, P, U, V); the table here follows MOT and BLOG, which agree with each other for 1966 and 1971.

Car line letters are shared across makes. The make attached to each letter is inferred from the model names the sources give for it.

1966-67 plant codes are digits; letters start in 1968 (IMP: Imperial plant 3 in 1966-67, C from 1968).

1 Model code	11: D-100 [VMT]

3 Assembly plant	1: Warren Truck Plant, Warren, Michigan [VMT]
4 Sequence number (1968 range 780,000 to 871,999)	780000 [T137]

Where sources disagree

VMT gives no per-year sequence ranges for 1961-69; the year boundaries here come from TWN_HT and T137 start numbers and assume numbers are issued in one continuous sequence across truck lines at plant 1. That assumption is not stated by any source.
Plants 2, 6 and 7 are not covered because no source says whether they used the same sequence.
This format is digits only, and many makers used plain numeric serials in these years. A match here does not by itself show the car is this make; check the make on the car and its paperwork.

Model codes not listed in VMT are rejected.

Where sources disagree

Engine G: MOT also lists G as 'AMC 2.0 liter four' for 1977-79; not resolved.
Engine J: CCV says J = 340 Six Pack for the 1970 T/A and AAR only.
Engine L: CCV instead lists L = 360 2-barrel for 1968-74.
Engine N: CCV lists N = 383 2-barrel.
Engine U: CCV lists U = 440 Six Pack.
Engine V: CCV lists V = 440 Six Barrel (T/A prefix). BLOG's 1971 row shows a garbled code for this engine.
CCV's engine-letter list for 1968-74 and 1975-80 differs from MOT/BLOG in several letters (J, K, L, N, P, U, V); the table here follows MOT and BLOG, which agree with each other for 1966 and 1971.

Car line letters are shared across makes. The make attached to each letter is inferred from the model names the sources give for it.

The year digit 0 can be 1970 or 1980 and the sources cannot tell them apart (MOT). Both a 1970 and a 1980 result are offered.

Where sources disagree

VMT lists L6 as both CNT-900 and L-600. Year digit 0 can be 1970 or 1980; VMT decodes it as 1970 only because it covers no 1980 truck table.
Single source (a vintage military truck site). No second source for the model-code, engine or plant tables was reachable (sweptlinetruck.com and rubbertherightway.com did not deliver truck tables).

13-character Dodge truck number (VMT): two-character model code, body style, weight class, engine, year, plant, six-digit sequence. VMT's own example is A11AA0J000001 (A-100, conventional cab, GVW A, engine A, 1970, Canadian built).

Engine codes are the names printed in VMT (it gives no displacement figures for many); they are shown as printed.

Car formats in mopar.json use a letter in position 2; these truck codes have a digit or letter there too, so check the model code against the table.

Where sources disagree

VMT lists engine H as Cummins N-927 in 1972 and Cummins Super 250 in 1973. Another decoder (search summary) lists plant letters for passenger-car VINs as B Hamtramck and A Warren, which do not apply to this truck table.
Single source for the tables.

Same 13-character layout as 1970-71 (VMT). The pickup example D14BE2S500001 uses the codes in VMT (D1 D-100, body 4 Sweptline, GVW B, engine E LA 318-1, 1972, plant S Warren #1) and is built from the tables, not a real VIN.

A forum summary of a real 1976 D100 VIN (not encoded) reads plant S as Warren Truck No. 1, consistent with VMT.

1978-1979

Looks like D14BH8S314512 (13 characters)

1 Model code (positions 1-2)	D1: D-100/D150 pickup [HAG78]
2 Body style (position 3)	4: Conventional cab with Sweptline box; compact hi-line wagon (Royal Sportsman) [VMT]

6 Assembly plant (position 7)	S: Warren Truck #1 [VMT]
7 Sequence number (positions 8-13)	314512 [VMT]

Where sources disagree

Engine letter meanings for 1978-79 conflict with the table (above). Year digit 9 (1979) has no source. 1978-79 plant letters are the 1974-77 list as VMT states.

Real 1978 example (HAG78): D14BH8S314512 = D1 pickup, body 4 (Sweptline), GVW B, engine H, 1978, plant S (Warren #1). VMT says its 1978-79 body, weight class, engine and plant tables match 1974-77 but shows no 1978 or 1979 year digit; 8 is confirmed only by the HAG78 example, and 9 is unconfirmed.

Where sources disagree

Engine G: MOT also lists G as 'AMC 2.0 liter four' for 1977-79; not resolved.
Engine K: CCV lists K as 400 4-barrel lean-burn for 1975-80.
Engine L: CCV lists L = 360 4-barrel for 1975-80.
Engine A: MOT gives 1978-82; a 13-character VIN applies only through 1980. Car line letters for Omni/Horizon are not in our sources, so such VINs may not match any format here.
CCV's engine-letter list for 1968-74 and 1975-80 differs from MOT/BLOG in several letters (J, K, L, N, P, U, V); the table here follows MOT and BLOG, which agree with each other for 1966 and 1971.

Car line letters are shared across makes. The make attached to each letter is inferred from the model names the sources give for it.

The year digit 0 can be 1970 or 1980 and the sources cannot tell them apart (MOT). Both a 1970 and a 1980 result are offered.

What a serial number cannot tell you

It identifies what the factory recorded in the number: typically the model year, assembly plant, series or body and production sequence, and in some years the engine. It cannot confirm a car is original or numbers-matching. Compare stampings, body tags and documentation.
