FAQ
How To Find Your VIN, Engine Number, Production Date & Model Number
The following information focuses primarily on vehicles originally sold in the USA. Identification tags can still be found on Non-USA models but the location of the tag varies by model.
To determine the correct part number you need, it may be necessary to know the VIN, engine number, production date and/or model number of your Land Cruiser. The production date and VIN is printed on the Vehicle Identification Tag. This tag is either an aluminum plate or sticker located in one of three places, on the driver's door or door jam, under the hood on the fire wall or on the inner passenger fender. 1958-1967 models were not required to have the production date stamped on the I.D. plate. Please provide full frame number when you order parts to assure correct information (not registered year).
Frame Numbers
Your Land Cruiser's Frame Number AKA VIN can also be found stamped on right front the frame member either in front of or behind the tire depending upon model.
Older Cruisers with missing tags (1964-1984)
To find the production date on an older Land Cruiser model based on your frame numbers, visit the Frame Number Chart link*.
