One thing I would recommend is to look for old pics of the things people did to flatfender Jeeps in the '50s, '60s, and '70s that they thought looked cool then. You might decide that stock/original isn't too bad after all. Or not, it's up to you.
This is coming from someone who has taillights from a '56 Pontiac on the back of his CJ-2A, because they go with the unknown-source headlight bezels that were on it when he bought the Jeep... |

There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

not sure where the vin is on them, I can take more pictures when I get off work. I think it did have the shovel mount at one point in time but my dad might have taken it off and painted over it.

Technically not VIN, SN (serial number) Upper left of firewall you have two tags painted over... bigger one is SN tag, lower/smaller one is body tag... the numbers should match. The numbers are stamped, so the blue paint should not matter. If it does block reading the number don't go scratching, imo... remove the tag and read it in reverse on the back There should also be a frame tag on the front frame rail drivers side, number should match, too.

MikeC [/QUOTE/]yeah im the only one of my friends who likes old cars/trucks.. although I was looking into getting a newer corvette here someday but that's another story. my dad has 2 or 3 of these jeep willys and two 70s-80s jeeps that he uses hunting and they all have this same style top on them, he said they where custom made for them back in the day (he thinks). I looked all over for a name on it I cant find anything the inside of mine looks almost like new old stock its crazy

Joe, they come from the rock crawling crowd.
In a downward roll (think going down ledges) instead of an 'end over end' roll where it might just fall flat on the top (if so equipped) the stinger is SUPPOSED to kind of roll it to one side or the other as a pivot point. |
