    I havent gotten the 1970 cj5 frame home yet. Being from ebay, I havent seen it either. Anyone know if it will have an offset 44 in the rear with an offset rear outut on the transfer case? It has the 225 engine, and an auto.

    Good, I need an offset output case, becuase my 71 44, in the chevette is offset, and as short as the driveshafts are... it needs nearly no angle or it viberates.

    Very well could be modified.... guy said its a 70 cj5, with 231 and auto... I assumed he just didnt realise the differance between the 231 and 255.... maybe it has an updated engine and transmission...

    Has to be modified. The factory never offered an auto in a CJ5.

    Let us know what you find when you finally get it.
