snake river 4x4 had a contract for fiberglass tops, but they stopped selling them due to shipping. i forget where the manufacturer is located, and they are expensive, but i think they are still available from the manufacturer they were working through. May be worth checking out

An acquaintance near me bought the fibreglass hardtop from VPW. Fits right, looks right and is light enough for him to take off by himself, which isn't the case with the steel one according to my back...

Used tailgates come up now and again along with other stuff on Craigslist. Currently, there is a complete body listed in Portland. http://portland.craigslist.org/search/s ... 7&sort=rel I don't know if there is a tailgate or if he will part it separately. Midwest Military and VPW can supply a new tailgate. There is also someone that lists parts once in while in Kennewick if you keep watch out, he apparently has a bunch of stuff. My luck is, its always what I don't need.

Here's another one in Oregon. http://salem.craigslist.org/cto/5429798573.html and these guys in Spanway... I see at least one M37 in the pics http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/for/5439127729.html

I just found the VPW tops today, nice option for 900ish later on down the road.
I just got the M37 home and have a lot of work to do. Engine has to come out for disassembly and the body needs some care asap to stop the corrosion. Looks like a full tub off restoration is in order along with a lot of time blasting/painting.

Hal, if rcamacho isn't interested, I think Storm Stevenson, one of our members down your way would be. He may see this or if you let me know if the top is spoken for, I'll try to PM him.

I scored a tailgate, cab bows, upper door bows and (2) combat wheels today.
The tailgate is pretty bent up but functional.
The bows are great, looking forward to at least a canvas top.
The combat wheels are likely too far corroded but I could not resist.

Picked up a second set of cab bows with a partial canvas. I also have four more combat rims
