I was wondering if someone in the know can describe the difference in the early CJ2A drawbar assy? Is the rear angle a formed component or a std. purchased angle iron?
Thanks

The two major differences are : 1. Rear straps going to frame crossmember do not have the half moon shape cutout up near the crossmember, 1. the angle piece of material does not have the factory holes stamped for a monroe lift.

Oh ..  NOW I see them! Went and looked at it where it's stored. (My own "bad photo" defeated me earlier. Ha)

Thanks for your help guys.
I was able to locate a correct draw bar this week.
Now I am on to the next piece of the 45 puzzle.
