It is a CJ7. You can tell by the wide doors. A CJ5 would have the same shaped doors as a M38A1.

The CJ7s first came into production in 1976, and continued until 1986.

On any CJ, the longer fenders are an indication of post 1971production. There is an extra 5" added to the back of the fenders compared to the pre-1971 CJs. This allowed the longer engines like the inline 6 Cylinder, or the 304 V-8.

The CJ7 shown is a fairly late one.....earliest date would be a 1981/1982 model I believe. The paddle type door handles are the giveaway vs the older style door handles used prior.

That is the very same vehicle Rob, the glove box contradicts all the other stencils and the licence plate. I show it as a caution to those who rely on just one such detail to identify vehicles, watch out, even in service they are not perfect like you think they should be.

I think Terry called it first in post #5.

Kind of reminds me of a LK6 rough terrain forklift we had in KAF. After about 4 months in KAF, I realized that two different forklifts were both using the same CFR number. It took some searching on the EDR viewer to figure out the proper CFR for the mystery forklift, and sure enough, the last info on it was that it had been VMOd in to KAF, then nothing.

I have seen CFR plates applied to the wrong vehicles on a few occasions. Not really a problem until the time comes to dispose of them, and the bill of sale will reflect the wrong serial number.
