UPDATE: I missed the CJ-5 body. Ugh. Thanks guys!
Someone has swapped out the dash on this. I’m guessing it’s just a custom dash? It isn’t M-38A1 and doesn’t have a whole for a standard CJ-5 speedometer, though it does have a right side glove box.

No battery box cover on the cowl. Tailgate. CJ5.
AZ Paul…
You beat me to it.
But I’ll also add no power port indent on right fender.
True the hood has the foreign cut out but IIRC, early CJ-5/6s did as well.
Well crap, I missed the CJ-5 body, with its lack of battery box cover and the word JEEP stamped on the cowl. ooops, my bad. thanks for pointing that out.
I guess I was distracted by the dash??? However, given the early M-38A1 fenders (angled joint) plus the hinged grill, I am still willing to be this is an M-38A1 chassis. Thoughts?
methinks you didn’t point out those vintage hubs, Bub…1st time fer everythang.
