Howdy Bear,
That's the best history lesson I have seen in English. One thing I am not sure about is the different 404 designations. Mine is a ragtop but is designated a 404.1. They say theragtop is just a 404 and the hardtop is the 404.1. Ain't history fun:D

Frank,

It is not just a 404.1, typically there are 3 digits after the 404, ie 404.114, of course a whole bunch of numbers after that make up your VIN number. Have a look at the VIN stamped on your frame behind the passenger side wheel.

Howdy Greg,
Right you are!¡ The problemm is the article saying that the ragtop is a 404. The ragtop is a 404.1 or as you said a 404.114. I think the 404.0 is all hardtops. There are 2 different hardtops; The one type is with the 404 cab and the second type is with the 406/416 cab. Now I think they have different numbers; Something like 404.0xx and 404.0yy. Boy, I can't keep all the numbers in line especially when I read and hear all the other models in the Mog family :eek:

Frank,I,ve already bookmarked that,but if you delve into this place it explains model designations in more detail.Bear

Howdy Bear,
What the RMM site has are the links to the Mog sites. Usually it saves time.
