That will be a tough one w/o costing a fortune (such as the new 'glass M37 top that VPW has for a grand....)

I have one I could part with, but I am on the west coast of Canada. Shipping would likley be prohibitive.

I was selling the fiberglass tops for a while, but crateing them up and then getting raped on the freight was not worth the effort. As soon as the freight company classed it as fiberglass and breakable then it seemed like it took $400.00 to get it anywhere. Tom

I only had one metal top, a nice one with the retangular window. But I sold it several years ago. There is one of my fiberglass tops for sale in Boise. I traded it to the guy and then he sold the truck without the top. Price was $700.00 plus shipping. Tom

Thank you Tom, I will keep your top in mind, although I prefer a metal top. Is it true that the glass top can crack with installation ? Are they fragile? Peter

I've found the fiberglass tops to work really well, the free standing type that is. Never installed the type that utilizes the canvas top hardware as support. We have a CCKW metal retrofit top for $300 for sale if interested. Have a new metal reproduction top for $1,400.

May as well "break your heart" since we're at it, we sold an original arctic M37 top a few months back for $2,000. Good originals are out of sight these days, I've seen them go as high as $2,500.
