Hey guys, I've been wondering and hope to learn something. What do you all know about cj5's having the plate on the cowl where the battery box would be on the m38a1
I read somewhere that Cjs had this in 55 because they were using military tubs until they changed tooling. But I've seen many jeeps that are 1958, 61, 57 etc with the block off for the bat box. My 56 has a smooth cowl. But my heep o rust. That I believe to be 59 has the cover welded on to fill where the bat. box would be. Was there any rhyme or reason for Cj5s having the military style cowl? Or is it just random? I just think this is an interesting topic and want to further my jeep knowledge.
