Wiring from a 83 to a 79 CJ-5

[parkerinc]

I have an 83 CJ5 and I am replacing the body with a 79. The body from the 79 has all the wiring in it and I am wondering if this will basically plug into my wiring harness? Or should I plan on replacing it with the one I saved out of the 83? The plugs look like they match up on the fuse block and steering wheel. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I would unscrew the back of the fuse block and compare the ends. My 79 block for the engine side of the harness only has 4 rows for wires and my 84 has 6 rows.

I would reuse all of you 83 compnents and wiring if you still have it.
