    Are there any differences in the frames of a '66 CJ5 vs. a '70 CJ5?
    Thanks,

    My frame is '66 is cracked in half and I found a frame nearby that is sold but is from a '70. I am wondering if it wouldn't be better just to buy the new frame rather than repair the old one. Do the frames have serial numbers?

    In some states it could turn your '66 into a '70's model, since the VIN is on the frame. Check with your DMV.
