“This 1975 Jeep CJ-6 is equipped with a four-speed manual transmission, a twin-stick transfer case, power steering, and a black roll cage, soft top, and doors in addition to a Rough Country 9,500-lb winch, a Summit Racing electric fuel pump, and AutoMeter auxiliary gauges. The truck is finished in matte blue over tan vinyl upholstery and work since 2015 is said to have involved rebuilding the 232ci inline-six and replacing the power steering pump and lines along with the steering stabilizer, leaf springs, and shock absorbers. Acquired by the seller in 2020, this CJ-6 is now offered at no reserve with a clean Wisconsin title in the seller’s name.”
This may have had an original Meyers hardtop from the factory. Note the offset plates where the windshield latches would normally be. That’s how the CJ would come if the HT was installed at the factory. You can also see where the lower door had been on the side. These hardtops usually protected the interior.

Barney, I didn’t know that. Good tip to know!
There is a pc of the Meyers HT that was accidently left on it – and usually is unfortunately. There is a 2-screw filler plate still on it at the body radius above the area where the fuel side fill would on earlier CJs and M38A1s. (Actually side fills were available as an extra capacity option through ’75). When people buy a Meyers HT or remove one from a Jeep to sell, they should be sure to get this filler plate also. The purpose was to prevent air from drafting up into the cab.. This is also another way to see that a >75 once had a HT on it, if the 2 screw holes are on the body at that location. And those holes would be “punched” if it had been installed at the factory, usually as part of a fleet or special order Jeep/
Barney,
That makes sense. I didn’t notice that piece until you pointed it out. Good detail to know.
Thanks
