71 CJ-5 BODY PARTS

Looking to replace fenders and other body parts...Where, preferably made in the US, is a good place to look for quality parts?

 

You might start by posting an ad in the classified section. I have some avail but you have not posted your location that I could find. I may be too far from you. I have a near complete tub in fair condition very reasonable in Cordele Ga.

 

Classic Enterprises is well regarded for patch panels - http://www.classicent.com/jeep/

For fenders, I expect your best bet is to look for good used fenders. Depending on your skill and equipment, you can cut down fenders from later Jeeps http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/the-boys-70.110313/page-2#post-1235964

You can also cut your patch panels from a parts car or wreck.

Otherwise you can take your pick of suppliers for imported part. MD Juan makes some parts in the PI, and Omix-Ada imports parts of uncertain origin.

 

Postal jeep fenders would be a good option. They have the light indent and were manufactured through 84. 76 or so were factory fiberglass.

 

Thanks for the replies and help..!

 

Some version of the DJ Postal front fenders were galvanised. Paint didn't stick well, but they didn't rust. I had a pair on one of my Jeeps about 18 years ago, but that one is long gone.

Several years ago, my parents had the gutters redone with galvanized ones. My mother felt that none of the males in the family were capable of standing on a ladder with a paint brush in hand so she did it herself. The paint wouldn't stay on. She talked to the paint store, wash first with soap and water, wipe them down with vinegar. it worked.
