Trivia - What are these? Because I have no idea...

Please be patient, as this is my first Willys. And I just got it a few weeks ago. I'm wondering what the heck these body parts are for. The first is a scoop behind the grill and it vents off to the driver's side of the Jeep. The other is obviously off the back of the body. It's a 62 CJ5. Thanks all!

 

The scoop would have a 4" flexible duct attached to it that would then go to the heater core box on the drivers side firewall.

Not sure what the bracket on the rear is for but I guess its for an old soft top or some kind of rear rack.

 

Bracket on the rear is for the rear bow for the original canvas soft top.

 

Top bows for a 3A (same body brackets though)



Original style top

 

I like the way that top looks better than my TigerTop

 

I am really thinking about something like that instead of a premade top.....

Looks great! Just need bigger windows.

 

I really don't like tiger tops or vinyl tops at all. To me, they look like spandex on a Jeep. The canvas has a more "rugged" look. Plus, it has built in half cab, full cab and bikini all in one.

Thanks guys. I too wish my door had bigger windows. Oh well, I don't run it in the winter too much. Mostly the summer with the doors off.

Like! To me that looks a lot like the military canvas, which makes total sense.

 

I have your Jeep's slightly younger brother. '57 CJ5 in the same color and condition. Every time I get close to pulling the trigger on a SuperTop I see one like yours and reconsider. The canvas is such a great look. Is it a Beechwood?

Finally, what tires do you have? They look great too.
