I think one of my uncles said it was most likely the axle that broke, since this Jeep has apparently broken a few axles back in the day.
History of breaking axles?
Would different (not matched) gear ratios inside the front and rear pumpkins cause axles to break? _________________ Ron D.

Good luck with the floor pans. They are a very common rust issue. The hat channel reinforcements underneath had white oak installed at the factory to help strengthen the assembly. Water would get in over time, soak the wood, which would rot and retain moisture, eventually rusting out the floor panels from below.
