Depends what you buy. There are tubs made for collectors and "JC Whitney"
tubs made to fit any "farm" jeep form MB to CJ3B. Naturally accuracy was
not the issue for them. Low cost was.

Man, where do you live? An original tub, usable for $1900?! I would save
all the effort of importing these from the Phillipines. I just showed my
body at National in Memphis and got pretty good comments about quality.
Yes, the expert will always be able to pick out the repro body but the
quality is getting better all the time.

Also, all the panels used to make a repro body are available. If you just
need a floor board, it's available and you can save the rest of the
original tub.
