cj-6 dimensions

Can anybody give me a dimension for a cj-6 tub? I am stretching my 5 into a 6.
Started as a 56 cj-5. Frame has been lenghtened 20 inches, wheelbase is correct. I cut the body in half and am doing the sheet work. I would love an exact dimension from the front of the tub/firewall to the rear of the body. My searches have come to nought. Tim, your a jeep encylopedia , how about it?

 

Here this might help.

awesome.Thanks

 

I can take a picture of what the factory did for the filler panel.

I'll take any pictures I can get. I am not worried about joing the 2 ends. As you said, they just join in the middle. My concern is getting the dimensions of the tub accurate so that I will be able to get a standard cj-6 soft top on in. I would hate to be a little long or short and not be able to get a top to fit. The original frame was a cj-5 , so it has also been stretched. The only dimensions I have for that are similar to the ones listed above. The frame required a significant amount of repair , so I need a couple double checks to feel good about it.

 

Here is some photo's of the 20" panel Jeep put in the CJ6 .
The measurements are from ware the body meets the front fender.

This is the filler panel

Hope this help you on your project.

Thanks for the pics, they are very helpful! Can you give me a number from the front of the tub to the rear? It is interesting how they did the panel. I thought the were seamless. Now I have to make a seam in the same spot as yours.
thanks again for taking the time to measure!

 

So you want the total length of the tub.
See if I can get that tomarrow.

Good pics Andrew. Could be part of tech pages, if they ever come back.

 

The length from the front of the body were it meets the front fender to the back of the body. Came up with 102 7/8" , Does not include the tale gate

Hope this helps.

That is the number I was looking for! That is an immense amount of help. Thanks a lot!!! I calculated it to 103". I feel good enough now to make the final body welds.
