    West and South. Last time I was at Scotty's in Fontana CA, they had several.

    Also check Craig's list, and local Jeep and 4x4 forums. Just search everywhere you can think of.

    Also, post WTB (want to buy) on all the Jeep and 4x4 forums, Willystech, G503, etc.

    :?

    I guess we're a bit confused - are you looking for a tub for a Jeep that you're also trying to sell?

    The wrecking yard is called Olympic 4x4 Supply. They also sell new parts. This is where I bought my used D-30. Sorry for the confusion.:oops:

    I am keeping the 59 for now and i guess it has turned into a true "project"
    My wish was to get it redone quickly and drive but now it looks like parts and work will be done slowly as the money comes in
    The 68 was taken away by the new owner today so that money goes into "project 59"

    Was the body on that '68 that bad? I thought it looked pretty good, at least from here you had a good tub.

    the drivers side floor was all replaced with sheet metal patch job and the back floor has a few small holes
    Was thinking about switching that body to the 59 but for the shape it was in it just wasent worth it
    What years can I use?

    Yes, do I need to make it more clear?

    Feedback is the only way I have to improve this stuff. My perspective is quite different than someone like you so comments are useful. :)
