YJ/CJ-5 interchangable parts?

I have a '79 CJ5 and want to replace the tub some day. I know the tub for a CJ7 isn't a lot different than a YJ, but wonder where the difference in CJ5 to CJ7 lengths are?
What parts of the tubs can be pieced together if I wanted a CJ5 with YJ seats/interior components, CJ front end and dash, YJ steering console, etc. I'd also like to have a tailgate. I just know that I can get YJ tubs from the junkyard pretty cheaply in decent shape, and my front end (fenders, grille, etc) is in great shape. Are there already known easily swappable tub parts to a CJ5 , with parts obviously sectioned for length? Where is the difference in length? It looks like maybe in the door area and the rear bed area? Thanks for any input.
