Yes. '76 is the first year of the final CJ model. Same setup (frame and body) went into the '80's.
The answewr is NO. Up to and including 1975 they were considered short nose frames and from 1976 thru 1980 they were long nose frames. hope this Intel is of any use. if i can share any more info contact me at: rokcrawlcj@hotmail.com
Yes, all cj's should be the same
1960 CJ5 (Jeep)
First off the last year of a cj5 is 1983, second it should be stmped on your intake manifold
Its the same as the old Ford trucks.
Yes
I have a 1980 CJ5 with a 4.2 and after driving 6149 miles over a 1 year period, I used 378.7 gallons of gas. This will calculate out to a 16.2 MPG average.
Yes. Everything from the doors ---> forward was the same in the CJ5, CJ6, CJ7 and CJ8. The CJ7 is 2" longer than the CJ5 to allow for the optional automatic transmission, so the frame and body were 2" longer. The CJ6 and CJ8 were 10" longer in the back.
no... 75' and older are interchangeable... as are '76 and newer. FYI... cj5 and cj7 cannot swap at all.
ANY '64-'67 GM A body frame from the same body type (2 door coupe, convertible, etc.) Now, you are MUCH better off sticking with the '66-'67 frames. Even though the earlier frames can be used, the '66-'67 frames are stronger.
The main two differences is the CJ5 has a 83" Wheelbase and the CJ7 has a 93" Wheelbase. The door openings are different. The CJ5 has a S shaped opening and the CJ7 has a U shaped opening. The bottom line is the CJ5 is just smaller. Other than those 2 things they are basically the same vehicle. Of course there are other differences in appearance and trim.
