I've been eyeballing a 61 CJ-5 for sale locally.

it needs some work, but I might be able to get it pretty cheap.

I have a question on the gear selectors...

my googlefu is weak...

there are 4 shifters.  I know one of them is for the 3 speed tranny.  the other three, I donno.
the placard only shows a transfer and hi/low
maybe the 4th is a PTO?  
sorry, no pics.

Yep-two shifters for t-case.
Fourth has to be PTO.
Look underneath for a gear box bolted to side of t-case.
On second though, MIGHT be an add-on overdrive-if it has that, it will be on the rear output only, so don't use in 4x.

Yep, either a PTO or an overdrive.

from Left > Right

tall lever (tranny), mid size lever (~3/4 the tranny), then 2 short levers (about 1/2 the mid lever)

thanks for the help guys.

All lined up left to right?  That's weird, my PTO shifter is back between the seats, which is where I've seen OD shifters.

ETA: Sounds like it's an overdrive: http://forums.off-road.com/jeep-short-wheelbase/79700-shifter-65-cj5.html

ETA2: Yep, most likely:
