79 J10cab on an 86 J20 frame Question

[Jeep Craze]

1-Are the cab mounts all at the same spots?

2-I know the driveshafts are gonna be on a different side for the front, what are my options beings that the floor/trans hump is differnet shaped?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks Craig

Craig,
I don't think the floor/tranny hump will be a big deal since guys swap all kind of trannies back and forth under these rigs anywayz. If something does interfere you can always do a body lift.
As far as mount point locations, there is a difference in the spacing and height of the mounting points between Kaiser and AMC trucks. I doubt there is a difference between '79 and '86... but, the way Jeeps are...

The changes in the floor hump did change the seat mounting bracket on the inside on just the driver's side? (if you have bucket seats or are trying to fit them).

The changes on the earlier rigs consisted of three different hole sizes in the foward mount (3/8" circa 1966) (1 1/4" circa 1975) (1 1/2" 1979) and two different locations of the forward cab mounts on the frame (~42" circa 1966) (~44 1/2" circa 1979)(the width of the forward mounts was the same between years). Front and rear frame mounts on a 1966 were ~3/8" above the top of the frame rail, on the 1979 they were both ~1/2" below the top of the frame rail, didn't check the '75 truck I had.
You can measure, under the floor pan, the distance between the front cab mount bolt and the rear for comparison... have someone give you a hand for accuracy.

No problem, and if you come up with some different or new measurements please PM me so I can make note of them.
