A: The '76 DJ my son was working on was shaft rockered and the '74 was 
bridged. (They belong to his GF's uncle who uses them for Ice Cream trucks)

" I didn't know about the starter location change between the 196 and
" 199/232!! Thanks a lot guys! The Postal Jeeps used a T-35 (M-35)
" behind the 232 for a lot longer than AMC used that trans in cars,
" even after AMC switched to Torque Flites. My bet is that the mid 70s
" Postal Jeeps with the T-35 use the small pattern.

according to postaljeep.com, they alternated series with t-35s and
m-12s for quite a while into the '70s.  i believe am general made
their own 232s [under license or some such] with small-pattern tooling.

it would be interesting to know if they had shaft rockers or bridged.
