... but the 5-hole rounded grille indicates without a doubt a 1971+ AM General model, due to bigger engines that Jeep models didn't use.
There were apparently some AM General models with this "Jeep tailgate", when the make changed.

No "Jeep" after 1970, all 71-84 are made by AM General.

Most likely to keep the production cost low, they just use the same molding.

This raised my bigger question; I found this second thumbnail provided by AleX_DJ has AM General stamp at the tailgate :think:
