The make didn't change to AM General until 1971, and those have AM General stamped on the tailgate instead of Jeep. Another clue that this is a Jeep is the lack of sidemarker lights on the front fender, sidemarkers were added in 1969 which is before the "Jeep General Products Division" (commercial/military division) was spun off and became AM General.
