After all that work on the tub, kind of sad to see it not be used.

I got a lot of things moved around.
I learned that the inside of the CJ10 top is different than the Scrambler one and the cage isn't fitting.
It is a couple inches short due to the collars on the Scrambler cage hitting the metal supports in the cab.
I will have to see what I can do about making that work... or maybe continue with plan A and use the Scrambler half top with it, but then there will be a gap in the rear that I have to deal with as the fiberglass humps up in the middle... so I have to sleep on it a big.
I moved the crossmember back as well and will try to stab in the drivetrain sometime this week.
I have to mock all this up and make sure it all looks good.

Good use of that Laredo nose from the CJ7. I really like that color, one of my all time favorites.

Ditch the cage or modify the cage ? Love the tradeoff of the metal well fitting hardtop top vs the cage issues...

So is your truck tub longer than the CJ10 tub? If so, then maybe the CJ10 tub should be for your next project?

no, the cage fits fine inside the CJ10 cab, but the tops are different... but the overall length seems to be an inch or 2 different... so I have to get it all mocked up and check body mounts, etc.... and see what it all looks like.

Yeah, I will make it all work... it will need a new one piece floor as well to work with the CJ frame vs. the 10 frame... there are diffferent mounts and such.
Basically the floor needs repair in a variety of places, so swapping a full CJ7 floor in there will get me all the mounts and new steel...then I can do the lower cage reinforcement plates and then cut/bend to fit.
Just more work than I was hoping... I was hoping it will be close enough tot he Scrambler top to bolt in.

Dropped the engine in last night to make sure it fit in the TDK frame extension.. a little tight with the skid plate, but finally got it in there... cab time soon.
Need to get it all mocked up first before we start tearing into things.
Engine needs gaskets all around and the tranny leaks like a sieve.
There is a new full floor on the way for the cab. Although it looks ok, the bracing underneath isn't great and whoever sat in the sat must have been a big boy (not that I am one to talk) cause all of the mounts are broken and cracked.

Being a CJ10a, and meaning it was used as an Airforce tug all of it's life, I bet it was a matter of young guns jumping in and out constantly. I'd wager the average seat time was less than 1 mile between seat changes. Kinda like the low mileage dodge dart swingers that accumulated all those miles 1/4 at a time. Might be low miles, but they are all real hard low miles.
