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

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

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