Help me identify the year of my CJ

[GubNi]

I recently bought a highly modified CJ5. It is titled as 1958 so I bought a 1955-71 hood and found out it's about 4" short. That means I need a 1972-86 hood. I wonder if the tub really is 1958. Tag the CJ jeep expert for me. It's got an external wiper motor. The Jeep logo on the sides is very well stamped.

Wear is the gas tank? The windshield is newer then 1950's

The fuel cell is about 10 years old, lol. What else do you need a picture of?

Does it look like the gas tank was originally under the front drivers seat? If it was there would be a hole in the side for a filler cap

There's not one there now for sure. It kind of looks like there may have been one there and it has been patched. There is a large storage area under the passenger seat.

Is there a vin plate on the dash?

No, just this sticker and same number is on the title.

The raised up lid looking area on the cowlpanel and the fact there is a storage area under the pasinger seat looks like 58. But steering column and pedals and fram looks like it is from a 70s model jeep

My 74 had a storage area under the passenger seat

Ok I was not for sure when they stopped the tool box.

Without more pictures I'd say '72-75. Still used the Capital JEEP letters, longer hood and fenders for the AMC engines. Windshield frame also suggest '72-75.

On the driver's side on the cowlpanel is there a small rectangle that is cast in the metal? Probably about 2in by 3in. If that is there than that body is most likely a 58

Yes, what years had that?

 

[Pappy]

59 and older

I think someone put a couple of jeeps together to make that thing. Most parts looks 72 or newer but the cowlpanel looks definitely around 58

So what year range windshield do I need?

Omix list the Glass as 68-75 & 76-86. Not showing anything older. Wonder how long the 2 piece glass ran?
I would think the NC Vin #, is a replacement for a lost title, or a salvage build.

 

[Pappy]

The windshield that would be the same as original would be from 55 to around 67. The wipers would be on top

Omix list the Glass as 68-75 & 76-86.

I wonder how to tell the difference? Does it have sizes in that guide?

 

[paradisePWoffrd]

The 72-75 frames are rectangular, whereas the 76+ windshield frame narrows at the top. The glass also narrows at the top.

Also, I believe 76+ had the wiper motor on the inside.
