    The Jeep will be outside so something that would last a couple years would be fine, until I off my motorcycle collection. My CJ-5 is a 1960. Looking at different vendor sites that year is coming up short.
    Is a 1970-1971 CJ-5 close enough for a fit?

    Thank you.

    '55-'71 CJ-5's are dimensionally the same so yes, a '70-'71 cover would fit a 1960. In '72 AMC lengthened the fenders, hood, and frame and increased the wheel base to about 84" up from 81" of the earlies. I mention this because someone making a cover may make one longer for the later CJ's. I would think one from a later CJ-5 should work fairly well if not perfect.

    '70-'71 should be the same dimensions as your '60 (or close enough that it shouldn't matter).
