    Title just says 1959 Willys. What's the obvious difference between a cj3b and a cj5 tub? Any chance of a 5 front end fitting a 3b tub?

    No way. Tub is totally different on a flat fender from a 5 at the cowl.

    Data tags like that are always on the dash, at least everything I've seen has been. Being on the firewall would be an indication someone added it just because they could.

    The spare body parts that came with it could be from the same jeep the tag came from. So I can sell these parts to a local I heard is in need and recoop some from the jeep purchase.

    My 5 had a VIN tag from a C 101 and was titled as a '67 CJ7. :? More than likly the title was lost somewhere along the way and then somebody swapped that one on cause they had the paper work.
