Doors, if you cut off the top frame.

Fenders if you cut the radius of the flare and install 715 flares.

Front light panel if its an early FSJ. Anything after about '69 or so is different.

A lot of FSJ stuff can be used, but it isn't a direct bolt on or isn't correct for the military version.

That's just off the top of my head.......

Probably the easiest stuff is the heater unit and the brake and clutch pedals and mounts...that stuff will interchange from the right year trucks.

Hoods interchange but the M715 one has extra holes for the side hood latches and blackout headlight and a loop on top.

The front panel with the headlight and turn signal openings will interchange into the early J series trucks if the spot welded in rectangular panels at the bottom corners are removed pretty easy, so that the civvy turn signal can be used there. It will work in the later ones with the large wide grille but more work is needed. Speaking of which, the early grille that fits in just the center hole bolts in with bolts/nuts...holes are there.

Master cylinders from various years will bolt to either firewall...4 bolt mounts need 2 of the holes drilled but the other 2 are there...this is actually year dependent not J truck versus M715 dependent...basically the M715 has the 1962-1966 Jeep Gladiator/Wagoneer firewall.

Power steering from the J trucks will work...3 core and 2 core radiators fit without work...but probably dont match the mil 230's hose locations...the 4 core units can be made to fit by moving the passenger side mount and cutting the front panel to open up more width for airflow and cutting the panel on top in front of the radiator to give another inch or so for the radiator to be shifted forward.

Trans cover will interchange.

Seat belts mounts are the same in both and as long as the belts are lap belts, will install in either.

Early style steering wheels, 62-73, for manual steering are the same...different color but otherwise the same.

The door locks and power windows from the civvy trucks can be installed in the mil doors...the bosses are there...
