Can't see why not, if designed for a CJ7 then it should fit, as far as I know there were no body changes after they made the CJ7 until the YJ came along

the eagle tub was made to fit one of two chassis designs, originally a vw beatle and then a later ford based chassis but again it was more a simple  flat ladder frame, so yes it could be made to fit but you may find it is actually wider than the standard cj tub I would get  some measurements before going to wild.

It would be so much work, I doubt it would be worthwhaile and would turn your CJ into a bastardised worthless heap of junk. A decent YJ tub is probably your best bet if your CJ tub is really not repairable.

Already forgotten about. Welding the CJ will start in earnest in next couple of weeks.
