If you're just trying to tell the difference, the 5's have an "S" shaped door opening while the 7's have a "u" shaped opening.
The other difference is that if you're in a 5 and you pass a 7, you get to wave first. :)
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.
The cj5 is shorter so it wont line up right
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.
The Jeep Wrangler replaced the CJ5 in 1987.

A CJ7 front floor panel will not directly fit a 1979 CJ5 due to differences in dimensions and design between the two models. While both are part of the Jeep CJ series, the CJ7 is slightly longer and has different body contours. Modifications may be possible, but it would require custom work to ensure a proper fit. For the best results, it's recommended to use parts specifically designed for the CJ5.
The CJ7 was 10" longer than the CJ5. Most of the additional length was in the rear portion of the vehicle, so even if you wanted to modify a CJ7 top to fit it would mean taking out and replacing the windows and shortening the top. Way more work than it's worth.Keep looking for a CJ5 top, or go with an aftermarket top instead.
Cj8 is hotter than cj7
no,the 7 body is longer including the frame
it has a flufy head look at the cut of the doors. cj5 has like a s-hape to it and the cj7 has a u-cut....i hope you can understand what i mean. -first_slice
No. The door openings are not shaped the same, CJ-7 vs CJ-5.
