Early CJ5 Body question
My 1964 CJ5 has a 1/2" -5/8" diameter x approx. 6" long sheet metal tube
attached vertically to the outside of each of the rear corners. These appear to be original to the jeep. Does anyone know what the intended use is for these? |
Re: Early CJ5 Body question
A picture might help... I'm thinking for flags if it is sheet metal (not
strong enough to hang something off of). Do you know its history? Maybe it was a parade vehicle for the Shiners or something. -Brian "Scott" <scottbwebb@bellsouth.net> wrote in message news:eqRUa.3868$jI6.3464@fe05.atl2.webusenet.com.. . : My 1964 CJ5 has a 1/2" -5/8" diameter x approx. 6" long sheet metal tube : attached vertically to the outside of each of the rear corners.

Re: Early CJ5 Body question
These were sockets for the factory soft top rear bows. Some jeeps had
them, some didn't. Not sure but I think the military versions used them as well. Search around the net, I've seen sites detailing these things.

Hi Scott,
Not on '64 Civilian Jeep, but someone may have added the bow mounts used on older Jeeps, like: http://www.thecj2apage.com/pockets.html God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ Scott wrote: > > My 1964 CJ5 has a 1/2" -5/8" diameter x approx. 6" long sheet metal tube > attached vertically to the outside of each of the rear corners.

Re: Early CJ5 Body question
Bow pockets for the original, factory soft-top.
