'69 cj5 fiberglass tub to '75 cj5 frame?

[xloomcricketx]

i have a '75 CJ5 & i recently got a line on a fiberglass tub for a '69 CJ5 . is it possible to put the one on the other? what would be some immediate issues i would come across? i'm fairly knowledgeable on the '75 CJ5 but know nothing of the '69 CJ5 .... could anyone help or at least get me pointed in the right direction?

For starters the two have different frames and wheelbase lengths.

The tub should be interchangable with your '75.If it is used and was installed on a '69 there will be holes in the floor for clutch and brake pedals. Holes for fuel tank under seat, etc. Fiberglass is fairly easy to work with so repairs and mods should be straight forward. I have seen
several early CJ5 's with later tubs so vice versa should work.Wheel base change is in hood and front fenders. mike
