I looked around and tried the only "replacements" I could find online; but they were for the intermediate CJ-5 made from 71-75. They just didn't look right and didn't stay on either as it only slipped on -- the screws didn't align. One was lost while driving and after a "clink - crunch" sound I looked about and saw one gone. So removed the other and drove her for the last year while I looked for options.
Of course the first option was to find someone who could re-chrome the originals. That would mean that I sandblast them and then prime/prep them for the chrome. Nobody local for less than $100 so I decided to keep looking. Let's face it, enough of her is not original that having the originals on there are not a priority. I just want the original look.
So after one of my eBay scans, daily you know, just for "1969 Jeep CJ5" to see what's there I spotted bezels. They were listed for CJ2/3/early 5 so that indicated these were likely the right ones. And only $20 each! Buy it now didn't work fast enough for me as I didn't want to lose them, but they were shipped later that day. 5 minutes installing and now her face looks like it should.
Thanks for looking...
