Numbrs off my M-170

[DeepSea]

Do these numbers sound right? From the engine block MD 8982 from the Willys Overland plate off the right rear fender MDA 11875. Also where can I go to find out more about this M-170 Jeep?

Looks like you are missing the first or last digit of the engine serial number. Should be at least 5 digits.

Here's about where you fit in the list of serials I have:
