EPC (Electronic parts catalogs). Find you model then the breakdown of the specific area then the exact part number that you are seeking. Both do the same thing.

Sorry for being a "newb," I scrolled further down on both pages and found 460.333 for my (new-to-me) 300GD.

Thanks for that helpful link!!

Sure... you have the W460 the W461 and the W463 chassis designations. 460 is old school the 461 mainly military but more like a modern 460 and 463 the newer more modern Gs that started in 1990.

Check out this link for a little history: http://www.g4rce.net/engl/models.html

I think I see what you are going after now. Go here to Harald's site for a breakdown of the VIN numbers: http://4x4abc.com/G-Class/vin_coding.html

Hope this answers your Question.
