    The flanged offset axle with the Dana 18 means '70-71. A '70 could have had the rear tank too. You could look at the stamped serial number in the frame and compare it to the site's serial number document, to narrow the production date even further. The F134 came with the T-90 right up to the end in 1971, so that seems right too.

    Some excellent parts there, for a rock-bottom price. The draw bar is worth more than that. What's the axle ratio, 5.38?

    They were cut before I could trace them. To me looked like a brake lights sensor, but I wasn't sure.

    Pretty large item to be just a junction block for a stop light switch.
    Pull the switch off and see what's inside.

    Good thing I asked! I will probably re-use it. Is there an obvious benefit in installing it? Mind, I have no parking brake.

    Yes, that 4 cyl and chassis looks to be '70 or later from some of the late features. Additionally, you have a backup light switch on the transmission shifter top; very desirable to some folks. Going the wrong direction, that looks to be a generator on the engine rather than an alternator that it should have had. Nice find!

    Mico locks can be a convenience for certain operations, but not should not be relied upon as a safe substitute for a parking brake.

    as far as I know thats all stock. The PO removed the body and left it set. It has 4.27 gears in it, the back up switch on the tranny and some other late things. WIsh I had the title for it. I would build it also when I redo my 69 I just bought.

    You still don't unless you have the actual fluid shutoff valve too. the switch is just for indication or brake lights

    Micro locks were great on the older jeeps with the floor mounted starter buttons. If you were on a hill and needed to start the engine, having to have a foot on the brake, clutch, gas paddle and toe on the starter button all at the same time could be a chore. Using a Micro lock made things a lot easier. (y)

    Unless you had a working hand brake... which was original equipment.
