    The M170 will be narrower. Like fitting an early CJ dash into a late, won't work.

    Let me get this straight, you're putting a M170 into a CJ-8, or the other way around.

    I know someone who is selling an -8 dash.

    I'm trying to put a M-170 dash in a CJ8, No one can give me any measurments but they told me it wouldn't work, just like U said.

    EVEN if it's to short (side to side) I can weld on side plates and fab it up to work. I just got a email from a guy who MAY have a M38A1 dash in about a month.

    Hummmm, we will see.

    All most, well basically the CJ6 & 8 are close enought to where I can do the conversion. Maybe I'm just crazzzzy.


    If all else fails I will but the insert from 4WDH & make a dash.

    Ok, I couldn't find his email address, so we'll have to do it this way.

    Go to www.earlycj5.com PM Kodiak12060 Here is a link to his profile http://www.earlycj5.com/forums/member.php?u=834

    He comes across Jeeps quite often. Not sure if he has a M170/M38A1 right now, but it's worth a shot.
