    Hello,

    My father found (in the yard) a hood that doesnt have this `hump` in the middle of the hood. I attach a picture of `normal` hood to show that `hump`:

    I dont have a picture of that humpless hood.

    We dont remember how we got it ... but is came from some early cj-5.
    So, where this humpless hood came from? what year/model?

    aftermarket or modified. From the M38a1 until the '86 CJ-7 they came stock with that hump in the middle.

    Yeah, that would be the easiest source for one to modify. Spanish Commando model?

    I dont think it came from Jeepster, as it is a very rare Jeep in Israel (only 2 known).
    I will post pictures from above and underside to understand that hood. A few more days.

    What about a postal hood? Do those have a hump?

    Yup. Sold one not too long ago. The DJ hoods I've had didn't have the cross support under the front but had the hump

    Im SORRY.
    I got wrong information about that hood. It is just another regular hood with the hump.
    Next time i will examine such strange information more carefully before post questions here and bother.
    Thanks for all the friends who tried to solve that mystery with me.
    once again, sorry.
    Admin - you better lock that thread.
