I looked all through your album and the white one is definitely the better of the two. The green one was actually a recoiless rifle carrier and might just still have the extra helper springs inside the regular springs in the rear. As I am sure you are aware these do not have a frame as you mentioned earlier. The unibody is a all in one construction. I think you have the makings of a good restoration there. Browse the site and you will fin Guy from CMD manufacturing, he is making a lot of panels you will need with new ones coming on line all the time.
Welcome to the addiction.

:lol: Thanks you for the welcome - I have to say you are right. I would have never guessed I would be buying a jeep (or MUTT) not made by Jeep! BUT, when I started researching them when this CL ad came out I kinda got caught up in them. Especially for the price :D

Welcome to the addiction indeed! Thanks for the info! I know it seems like it sits higher in the rear and lower in the front than the '66. I will have to check out the coils on that one when I get back. Maybe I can talk my wife into crawling under there and taking some pics... :roll: Maybe not...

That would NOT be a good idea or you will come home to no vehicles and a scrap receipt. :twisted:

If you can't find parts you need from members, Red River Parts and Rapco are both in Texas. Blake @ Red River has always treated me fair, looking forward to the build. One of our members(lpcoating) has some great panels. m151bodypanels.com Hambone

Close. That would be a complete '64 Dodge Dart GT I got from my Dad.

You got to be careful, we scope out everything in a picture. Especially garages, we love garages. :twisted:
