Has anyone ever put a 76-83 CJ5 fiberglass tub on an 76-86 CJ7 (1986 actually) frame?

If it will even fit, is there any major customization that will have to be made to do this?

you would have to either stretch the body or shorten the frame to match the wheelbase for one. i bet there is a few other things that would need mods depending on the year of the body you want, also.

no, its no going to just bolt on, or be easy.
 
10 inches will make that a problem. You have to shorten the frame.
