That is why this was a "good one"...the early CJ7 had this style roll bar but not the larger diameter as this is. By the early '80's when the 3 point safety belt came along (as in the pic) the roll bar was raked slightly to the rear and mounted differently. That plus the bulk head are clues. At quick glance it does look like the much more common CJ7. I had all these older Jeeps over the years and remember them fondly.
