Looking for New CJ5 body parts

[Kgrimes]

Just recently purchased my 71' CJ5 and it is need of a few new body parts. Specifically a windshield frame, windshield glass, tailgate, and new seats. Any website recommendations for these needed items without costing an arm and a leg?

Arm and leg is pretty much the going price.

Check Collins bros for the windshield frame, I like the one I got from them, the same gauge as the OEM. Only slight difference in appearance. I would guess the price was the best there was for something worth owning. there is some real junk out there.

You might get lucky doing a broad search on craigslist for some of the items. Have you checked the classified section on this site? Worth a look anyway.

For the windshield, I'd check local glass shops. They'll more than likely stock flat sheets of windshield type glass. Make yourself a pattern out of cardboard for them to use as a template if you don't have your old windshield to go by.

Glass will be easy, just call around for best price.
Need the gasket too unless it is obviously nearly new.
