Why wont the front brakes release on my 1978 Jeep cj5?
you had better check that out thoroughly, it isn't normal for that to happen. Front and rears should be drum brakes, and theres really no valve to malfunction. My first thought is that the cylinders have overextended and cocked sideways locking the shoes against the drum, this could happen if the shoes were extremely worn out, or the assembly was put together wrong. Second thing to check isn't even the brakes, your front axle may be locked. The next time the front brakes are locked up, open one of the brake bleeders up front. If the pressure releases you have a restriction in the hydraulic system such as a pinched brake line or a collapsed brake hose. If you open the front bleeders and the front brakes are still locked up and they are disc brakes, you may have stuck/frozen brake calipers or stuck caliper slide pins.

Will a cj7 front floor panel fit a 79 cj5?
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.
