Why it can't be a 1959 Willys Jeep

Since I have picked up the Willys, I have had my suspicion that our "Bondo Jeep" was not a 1959. There were some noted differences from our 1957 but I did not have any information to the contrary.

Until now.....

If you click on this link, you will see a great explanation of the differences between CJ5 over the years. With this info, I am convinced our "Bondo Jeep" has to be a post 1965+ Willys.

This website also indicates it was built sometime between 1965-1968, given the windshield wipers.

This is not a problem, given the frame should be the same.

So from now on, I will be referring to it as a 1965+ Willys
