I’ve seen these fender flares on early Jeeps….but never online where you could buy them. Is this something you just piece together from different ages of Jeeps? The rears might be CJ5 or CJ7….but I’m at a loss to figure out where the fronts are from.

Clint, I think Bushwacker used to make them. They were molded somewhat flexible plastic material. I have a set in storage but I think the box with mfg name on it is long gone…Kaiser Willys appears to carry some like these in their website. Maybe the same product?
The flares for the flat fenders and CJ-5s were originally rubber (to the best of my knowledge). I have a rear set on my CJ-3A. You can still buy them for the CJ-5s (and I would imagine the rears would fit flat fender jeeps, too): https://www.vintagejeepparts.com/categories/1972%252d1983-CJ5-%26amp%3B-CJ6/Exterior-%26-Exterior-Dress%252dUp/Fender-Flares/
Kaiser Willys sells a complete set for early jeeps (I don’t know if they are rubber, plastic, or both): https://www.kaiserwillys.com/flat-fender-flare-kit-2-fits-41-64-mb-gpw-cj-2a-3a-3b-m38?gclid=Cj0KCQiAsqOMBhDFARIsAFBTN3frjCd_zzTJ-UKkQMrlrVqN4k5g2gobapuMD_ptP4Q2D0vCJAEZEPIaAl6YEALw_wcB
