While tinkering around with a DoH Jeep (Daisy edition), I found out it's not possible to make an accurate Daisy Jeep from this kit. This kit is a CJ5, Daisy's Jeep was a CJ7 which has a longer wheelbase and squared up door openings. CJ5 CJ7 My question is this, I'd like to know what year (if any) the kit represents? The kit has the fuel filler next to the driver's door. But there are CJ5s with no filler there, just a indentation or smoothed off. I've found some have the filler in the back. Both of these are claimed to be 1970 model year. With filler No filler, indented 1978. No filler, no indentation. Also looks like front fenders are longer I checked 69, 70, 71, 73, and 75 model years and found variations with all of them. I don't know if there is a cut off year for one then the other. Was there a final year for the side mount filler? What was the first year for the dash pad? When did the roll bar mount change from the rear wells to the floor? Any other model year details would be welcome! I don't know much about the differences. I need information for the CJ5, not the CJ7.
