Am I looking at a repro CJ5 side panel with the 20" filler panel off the CJ6 recycled back into it?

Just curious.

hi yes it is a cj5 panel and cut where we thought best and i made the in fill panel and used the top shaped bit for the join at the top of the  old body in stead of trying to match the shape of the top and i dont have a metal bender the original infill panel was shafted

That shaped bit at the top would be a real PITA even with a good folder.

Lucky they don't rot there but dents/damage quite common.

Where did you source the panels from if you don't mind me asking?

I got to get a rear panel for my CJ5 tub at some point, 'cos its been chopped either side of the tailgate apparture.
