    Can't see the Temp/Defrost control levers that well but they appear to be the smaller early 67 style. Up until 69 they all had D30 rears with 10" regardless of what engine unless someone swapped in something else. Transmission could be a T14 or and T86. About the only brake parts you'll be able to use are the hold downs, adjusters, etc from the rear, fronts will be good. Question is, if you're going to upgrade your brakes why not go 11"? Everything 10" is getting increasingly harder to find.
    The outside of the body looks good, seems to be some rust inside but overall looks more than saveable compared to some.

    The serial number list on Film Queens indicates Feb 67 production for your s/n if the list is accurate.

    Thank you all...........looks like I maybe should save it and not just rob the engine. I am a bit confused on the T14 or T86 situation, seems it maybe, coulda been either one. I THINK I saw those two round cast projections on the left side sticking out, normally drilled and tapped for shifting brackets so that may mean T14 yes? The T86 never had that did it? Paul

    Don't know about other Jeeps but Jeepster had a T14 and a T86 side shift transmission.

    CJ's with column shift were T90's, but the T 14 and T86 both have the casting lugs on the side for remote/ side shifters
