    Mid year 1969 was the last of the Kaiser Jeeps! So starting mid year of 69 AMC got to put there name on them. Mine was made close to the last of production for Kaiser and they all came out of Canada at that time. Then Kaiser sold to AMC and AMC moved them back to Toledo .

    You just described my 71 to a T. That is perfectly normal after mid to late 1970

    Yep, no conflict. Sounds exactly right for a '71.

    The Nov 1970 build of the '71 I had was exactly as you described.

    It should have flanged rear axle shafts, too! '71 was a good year, but who's biased?

    Yup, I was even born that year. My 71 is the same as you described also.

    Pete was built Mar '70 and had Kaiser sticker. Also had the AMC emblem on the rear corner.

    Does anyone have a picture of the AMC emblem on the back. I would like to get one for my 71.

    It looks just like 26-3776, about 1" square die cast, chromed and pinted.
    Sets in the lower left corner of the tailgate when viewed from behind.

    Mine has virtually no paint left on it and is mainly chrome after all these years.

    AMC bought Kaiser out in Feb. 1970.

    Takes a while to change stuff over after a buyout, I'd imagine.
