New Member in FL top bow question

Hello,
I am trying to get the top put together for my 53. There are 2 poles the top bow should slide into, but the poles and bow are the same size. Are there couplings that attach the 4 pieces together? Can anyone post a pic of how it works? The manual does not address this. Thanks!
PS I've enclosed a pic of my truck.

Welcome to the M37 World. The door surrounds "pipes" have an inner bullet tiped portion (slug) that the upper bow slips over.

Welcome aboard, FL! Glad to have you with us! The cab bow pieces can be found but could be a bit pricey, so be prepared. The top bow can be especially difficult to find "intact" as many are cut in half for shipping purposes. I might have a pair of the vertical poles that the top bow fits (onto the tapered top end), but there are no window seal brackets attached. Send me a PM if interested.
Thanks,
Gary

John Bizal at Midwest Military has all of these parts.
