    It's fiberglass so will most likely fit any year you want. It does have '75 and older lower windshield hinges on it though but a '76 and newer style windshield. Can't see if it has a heater inlet grill on it but may just never have been cut in. It's got short fenders so that could be an indicator the frame is '71 and older. Nickmil

    Appears to be a fibreglass body, no gas filler so made like a 70 or later, windshild is earlier than '70.

    edit: It has top mounted wipers Nick, and hinges look like my old '66.

    short front fenders, 71 or earlier, tub is glass and most likely the only thing stock is the frame, so what year of jeep do you want it to be???

    My jeep is a 76, and my frame and engine are good, so Id want it to fit on those. Anyone think Ill have problems? Would I have to fabricate something?

    We've quite a bit of information here regarding trying to put '55-'75 tubs onto later CJs.

    Without a lot of work, it won't work.

    Frames are different, body mounts are different, etc.

    For some reason, that jeep just screams stay away from me when i look at it. I dont know if it is the axle he took off of his house and put under the back of it, or the fact that he didnt even care enough to put the fenders back on at least partway to try to sell it.

    That there is some high quality engineering. I bet at least 2 dozen Buds where consumed in the making of that.

    I agree with Karlvin08. Dont know what it is, maybe the horrible sccoop or perhaps the retched pain job; but it just screams stay away like an angered skunk.

    My jeep is a '76 too, and there's no way we can modify the earlier parts to fit.

    Thanks - thats what I figured. I know there are posts on how to do it, but I dont want the effort.

    And by the way everyone - I wanted it only for the tub - you cant beat $350 for a fiberglass tub anywhere - the rest would be garbage.

    Well, I don't know.
    Don't care for the way the steering mount looks (from what I can see of it).
    Would make a good dune buggy maybe. How hard wil it be to unmount the full roll cage from the frame tie ins to get the body off? And is that what is holding the body together, maybe.:)

    Don't know if I would even give three hundred for it.R)

    Could be the rear axle is just so he can push it around to work on it.:coffee:

    Mix and Match maybe?:?

    I'd send him a pm or email explaining what a P.O.S. he is trying to sell and say I'll take it for $200 just for the frame and some parts.

    Then u can positively ID the body and frame, take what u want and sell the rest. I'd buy it to strip it, sand and primer the tub and sell the tub only for $500 ($300 profit) and do similar to anything else I could salvage.
