    can anyone decode this chassis number

    My alleged '66 IIa has 143000968 on the rear spring hanger. That would make it a 1960 series II would it not?

    If thats the right numbers then yeah, both Clifton and Classic VIN calculators say 1960 Series II
    From Classic:
    Chassis / VIN number : 143000968

    Land Rover

    Land Rover series 2 88"

    Model 143 Series 2 88"
    Body style Basic
    Engine type 2.25l (2286cc) petrol
    Market, Steering (3) CKD (Export), RHD
    Model year 0 1960
    Serial Number 00968 Number 968 of 1671 numbered from 1 to 1671


    If you have engine, axle and gearbox numbers, Classic might offer more info:

    The good thing about Series II (not IIa) chassis numbers is that the fourth number corresponds with the year.

    1438XXXXX = 1958
    1439XXXXX = 1959
    1430XXXXX = 1960
    1431XXXXX = 1961

    With the 2a they went to suffixes which are less readily decoded.

    I'd think that every owner since about 1970 has been led to believe it to be a later model than it is.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
