UPDATE: Listed as a ’47, the serial number suggests it was manufactured in ’46.
Could be worth a look. Might have some Allstate or similar hubs. Might have some bondo on the driver’s side.

SN 66215 is mid ‘46 if correct..
Jeep use to shut down in August for the Model Year change. When assembly started in September anything that had been on the assembly line at shut down would be sold as the new model year model. I have a 1979 J20 with the 1978 body trim.
I overlooked the serial number. That serial number would def make it a ’46. I’ll correct it.
Bob, any idea when Jeep started doing that on a regular basis? Maybe that is something AMC put into place?
