My 1964 CJ5 has a 1/2" -5/8" diameter x approx. 6" long sheet metal tube attached vertically to the outside of each of the rear corners. These appear to be original to the jeep.
Does anyone know what the intended use is for these?
A picture might help... I'm thinking for flags if it is sheet metal (not strong enough to hang something off of). Do you know its history? Maybe it was a parade vehicle for the Shiners or something.

These were sockets for the factory soft top rear bows. Some jeeps had them, some didn't. Not sure but I think the military versions used them as well. Search around the net, I've seen sites detailing these things.
