will it fit my m37? mine appears to have shrunk?? over time and now there is a gap at the back that lets cold air in. sportsmansguide.com has khaki surplus tops for $150 while the two canvas shops i checked want $300. i think i have a deuce cover on mine now(it came with the truck) as it has the grommets along the top for the twisty fasteners, but my truck has now twistys. what say you all?

deuce and a half top

Mine had a deuce cage when I picked it up, with a ragged canvas top (no "twistys" either). Once I got the correct M37 canvas top I discovered that the deuce cage doesn't align properly across the back canvas bow area (and there are two on the deuce cage vs a single bow for the M37). It didn't secure properly in the front either, and the M37 canvas won't adapt to the deuce framework, so I ended up obtaining the proper M37 cab top framework and bow for the "correct" look.
Stated differently, the cage WILL fit, if all you are looking for is a rain bonnet, but you'll continue to have issues attaching any kind of unorthodox top to it....

In other words, after reading all the other posts in this thread, "No, a deuce top will not fit an M37." You can "make it sorta fit," as my wife would say, and it would look "almost exactly the same, only different" (again, as my wife would say). I don't think you'd be happy with it. I know I wouldn't.
