    About all the CJ5 and 6 had on the dash was the shift pattern sticker. I don't know if they ever had any tags like the flatfenders had. The emission controls in the late 60's brought stickers with more info. Military vehicles had all sorts of info, as you noted about yours.



    Mod. note: I moved this thread since it's more appropriate here.

    As is par for the course of literature being inaccurate-- I have a '59 owners manual for the CJ-5 that shows the shift pattern tag being a fastened plate. The '59 I have had a sticker.

    My '62 originally had the shift pattern sticker on the dash mounted low over the steering column. To my knowledge, that was the only dash sticker it had.
