    I was wondering how hard is it to install an M38A1 tub on my 64 CJ5? Any major frame mods required? Are the CJ grill and fenders the same? My tub is excellent from the firewall forward and rusty to the rear. If I am going to replace the tub I would rather have a more military looking set up. Thanks for the feedback.

    There is a body mount on the CJ frame that goes right were the gas tank well is. Other then that it will fit right on. If you need a picture I could post it tomarrow.

    When I replaced my floor I used CJ panals. I had to cut a hole for the gas tank well and cut off part of the new floor support channel. The piece you see is the cut off floor support with the body mount in the end.

    Here is the whole floor.

    This is the end of were I cut off the floor support channel.
