    not sure what your asking
    but
    72 - 74 tub is similar to the earlys
    the fenders and hood are longer . with a different grill shell too

    The later bodies were extended 3" (look behind the front wheel opening) specifically to accommodate the in-line six engines.

    All of the additional length for the inline 6 is in the hood and fenders - the "front clip" - and the frame. The shorter clip is way scarcer than the longer clip - just sell the shorter parts and buy what you need. The body is basically unchanged.

    Some punctuation would help. You would be better served in the right forum, "Intermediate" Jeeps are '72 and later. Long hood, inline 6, '72 or newer.

    First post. Welcome from Boston.
