I have a 1975 CJ5 with DANA rears, DANA transfer case, DANA transmission, lockout hubs, 3 sp. 258 ci. (straight 6cyl.)
I have a FANTASTIC jeep drive train. DANA rears, DANA Transfer Case , DANA Transmission , lockout hubs, 3 sp. AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l ci. (straight 6cyl.) Runs great! 90% of the miles on this thing has been in 4x4. You can put it in and out of 4x4 on dry road...the only thing that happens is the gas gauge goes down faster.
PROBLEM: the body is SHOT! Push the clutch in and the body lifts up 3 inches (without a lift kit). Body mounts, & tub are shot.
I can use: the hard top, 2 metal doors, wind shield and frame, grill, all lights, hood, front fenders, tailgate, all gauges, seats, & gas tank.
Right now I was wondering…were I could pick up a body and mounts for a fair price or trade. I only need it for plowing my driveway, unless it doesn’t take to much more to make it road worthy again. You know, I’d need someone that inspect things to take a look and let me know what I would need to make it road worthy again.
Can you guys help me out?

Post this question in the forums, blogs are really not for asking questions. :)
 
You can hunt and peck around craighslist and probably find a tub, the problem is it's probably located 3 states away. Or if your handy, you can do this yourself. You either buy an entire body for like 4K or piece meal it. You can replace both sides for $120.00 each. I bought the rear floor kit for $40.00, wasn't the original, but who cares, I'm not sitting back there. The front floor was the most expensive (original stamp) $500.00. Took some time/effort to get the lines straight but looks like a brand new Jeep....at this point..
