    I searched a little and didn't really see anything. Will a 68 tub fit a 73 frame and fenders?

    I think I can get tub, fenders and windshield, almost a whole 68 when I think about it.

    Will anything fit?

    The tub will fit. The fenders and hood will not - they are 5" shorter than '73 parts. Some details will be different from the '73 body, ie gas filler, "JEEP" logo, under-body brackets.

    Thanks.
    So it looks like I can make the tub work. It will work better than what I have. If it's in good shape. I going to go look at it later today.

    The guy had about six jeeps in various states of repair and disrepair...I picked up a radiator, front bumper and swing out tire carrier. The 68 was complete, in pieces, and in good shape, with a half cab. The tub is good. We're just not sure if we want to jump on it.
