Re: Help on how to decode a vin/serial number

There is a thread at the begining of this section labeled "On Line Manuals" I looked there and the only JP code belongs to a 51. I don't know what the L means after JP though. You might look there and see if you can find something. I know that there are some differences in the grill but I don't know what grills go to what years etc.
