I raised my eyebrows at JimG's claim too because I thought that there was
a re-wrok in `76, so I looked it up on the 4WD catalogue. They list the
`72 through `86 fenders as direct replacements. They also list the `69
through `72 fenders as also fitting `55 through `68, but include a hole
for the post-`68 marker lamp.

Yup, and the only reason they lengthen the hood and fenders four
inches was to accommodate the new owner, AMC's '29 Nash straight six.

Hi Serg,
American Motor Corporation AMC purchased Kaiser-Jeep in '70 and
made no changes until '72. You may easily see where they added the four
inches at the cowl forward to make room for their bread and butter
longer straight six, between these two pictures:
