Hi everyone ..Warren im not sure but i might be telling you stuff your brother already knows if this is the same jeep

i think he is turning it into a tuxedo park style jeep?But this is the lttle i know about the combat 6 which came out in cj5s and cj6s
1. with the serial plate it will show the date the body was made in the U.S but it probably wasnt assembled by willys australia and turned into a combat 6 till years after.
2. some didnt get stamped but it could be hiding some where else
3. from the photo it looks like it has its oringinal style front shackles
Some combats had the spare on the bonnet which didnt happen on the U.S jeeps some had a fiberglass shroud for the protrusion of the motor into the fire wall..some came with australian made borg warner gearboxs and diffs all had the dana spicer transfer case the rear BW diff is identified by having 1piece axles and not having the big nut or dust cap also they all came with 5.38 diff ratios so the ford motor is reving very high at 45/50mph ...There is a guy out this way with a very original combat 6 cj5 and he knows alot more about them i can pm you his number if gordon hasnt already talked to him..here is a period photo of a combat 6 cj5
thanks mick
