    Has anyone mounted after market seat Rugged Ridge or other brand seats in or on early CJ5 frames with the built in tubing back frame? Mine are in a 1961 CJ5.

    Those frames are rare & worth about $400, don't chop them up. It doesn't work well anyhow.

    After taking upholstery off, my seat frame was rusted through in many places and broken in two places. Not restoreable. Can a later model CJ5 seat frame fit an early CJ5?

    I would thinks so - the tubs are the same. They are not plentiful either. '71 or earlier only.
