CJ5 question

My title lists mine as a '68 also, but I have the single MC. Could have been changed but who would do that sort of butchery?

 

Good, but yall may get tired of reading posts from me before I am done.

 

MOP, I checked this afternoon and my wipers are bottom mounted.

 

Interesting. If we are both original that should put the changover from top to bottom mount between 238757 and 242318.

 

I have a jpg that shows what the vin number reffers to for cj and scrambler. Where can i upload it.

 

The 68 model year is the year that the dual m/c was implemented. I can't think of any reason to swap that for a single m/c, and besides, the way the single m/c bracket is mounted it would be extraordinarily difficult to do and the parts needed would not have been available.


The bottom mount wipers don't really tell the story. I have a CJ6A in the shop right now (1965) that has bottom mounted wipers. It takes about 3 minutes to swap windshield frames from top mount to bottom. A little longer if you include windshield wiper switch.
