    I have a 75 (same as your 74) and will be taking the body off in a few weeks. What measurments are you needing or is it something I can measure from the bottom or sides?

    Here is a CJ-5/6 diagram with specs:

    Depending on what measurements you need, the CJ-6 frame is the same as the CJ-5 frame, except for the length. There is an extra 20" in the middle of the frame rails, half-way between the front and the back. I expect there is also an additional body mount due to the extra frame length.

    To add to this discussion with another question... Does anyone have the dimensions for the Rear Tailpiece of the frame? Where it flares out, right near the rear crossmember, where the shackle mounts on? Mine is gone and I need to weld in a piece to repair it, but don't know how wide or long to make the flange.
    I found this picture that shows the area of the frame I am talking about.

    What I'm really looking for there, is the flared out body at the bottom of the frame channel that has the hole in it. I think the bracket to hang the gas tank bolts into it.
