1960 CJ3B body parts; Hood fender and fenders

I need some help. I have a 1960 CJ3B that needs a hood, grill and fenders. I found a 1950 3B that is being parted out. My question is, will the body parts from the 1950 fit the 1960?

Gumpster,
The 3B began production in 1953, so the one being parted out isn't a 1950. That said, the fenders, hood and grill should fit your 1960 just fine.

gumpster543,
As you know the Civialian Jeep (CJ) under went constant changes called progression. (1945 - 1985)
The model CJ-3B was mass procuced here in the U.S. from 1953 through early 1965.

If you want a Willys stamped hood and grille to fit your 1960 vintage you will want donor parts from a 1953 through 1962 model CJ-3B only.
Currently building my final F-134 powered 3B .
