CJ8 Dash Conversion to 1955 M170 Jeep
MC, Pat told me to ask to see if you could do this.
1. I'm converting my CJ8 to a 1955-62 M-170 Ambulance/Troop Hauler, Go here: http://www.jeeptalk.worldoversea.com...1912cf9ae1ab6e
This is a good page to view the Jeep,

2. I want to convert the CJ dash but the original M-170 won't fit I think, so Pat suggested that maybe you could make one. I found a insert from 4WDH part number# 7673448, it's a M38 but they should be the same.
3. Maybe adding the insert to a CJ dash etc. but then again it wouldn't have the glove box on the driverside. HUmmm. The dash would still fasten like the CJ dash, just the center would be different.
Here's some pics of the dash,

Here is the insert that 4WDH sells or maybe I can get it from another source.
