Tailgate hinges..... Found
« on: October 05, 2021, 11:53:02 AM »
Looking for a pair of nice original takeoff hinges for my CJ3A. I’m thinking that cj2a and m38’s will also work.
Thanks Bill

Thanks for the tip Oldtime.

My parts manual says the 2a and 3a use part number 663669. Not having a cj5 manual would you, or anyone else know if the same hinges are used?

Answered my own question. Looking at Walck's site it shows the 663669 hinge fits cj's from 1945 to 1975. Also fits M38's.

Yes walcks is correct on that notation. Fits all 1945-1975 CJ’s with no changes.
