Thanks for the replies guys!!!

JBCarney I have one question. Does your long rib end flush with the front edge (bottom photo) or is it set back by about 1/2" (top photo)?

Mine is set back about 1/2" like you show in the top photo. Hard to see for the rust/paint so I outlined in red.

My jeep is a CJ-3A 1950. I estimated the built date around late August 1950.
Serial # is 56908





Hope this help
