can the serial number identify a jeep. its titled in iowa as a 42 ford suv scout car, 1ga97493

1ga97493 is not a Willys or Ford jeep serial number. Most likely it was a State DMV assigned number.

Without seeing some photos of the jeep we cannot offer you much help.

Is the welded serial plate still on the inside of the left front frame rail, a few inches behind the bumper?

Or, possibly a number stamped on the top of the left frame rail near the motor mount bracket, if it is indeed a GPW

If you find a number on top of the left front frame rail you'll have a GPW frame.

Wes, point taken.

Good to see you all again. Still slowly working on 38A1, in between children.
