Just another quick post to detail some of the Cdn3 characteristics if you want to confirm the Jeep is a 70/71 year Cdn3. There should be the flat faced (no hubcap) rear one piece axles, and the larger brakes. As Mike mentioned, these can be swapped about to other years. Also look for a small 5" square plates boxing the frame over the front hangers of the rear springs. Also, the seat belt backing washers were square and welded to the body. On the earlier jeeps they were an add on, and used round backing washers. The body and frame were items that would not usually be swapped out or upgraded on earlier jeeps. As well, look for closed hood hinges, as opposed to the open hinges which would allow the hood to be removed when opened to a certain angle. Often, if you forgot to latch the hood on a Cdn2, the hood would fly open and out of the hinges, and bounce of the driver's head as punishment for the omission.
There were other minor differences between Cdn2 and Cdn3, but these are the ones that come to mind to provide quick ID of the Jeeps year.
