Model year identification

[Patrick]

Can someone help me identify model year and substantiate your answer on my CJ...

The plate on the firewall shows model 57548 serial 69152. Thanks in advance.

Haven’t figured out yet how to upload pix, and the vehicle is unrecognizable in its current state. But I can tell you it has topmounted windshield wipers, fuel tank under driver’s seat, Willys stamped tailgate, storage compartment on passenger side front of windshield (might be PO installed), original color yellow mayonnaise tone, and black windshield frame. No inset headlamps (I love these).
