The bows in the photos on page 5 look a lot like late CJ bows. I just don't think they are correct for a DJ-3A. Here is a page from the late CJ parts book....

The following link is from the 1965 CJ-3B, CJ-5/6 and DJ-3A parts list. The top in question may be 693935 Kit, body top, folding.

Hi everyone....As many of you know I have a soft spot in my head for the DJ3A version of our little flatfenders. Basically a CJ3A with a 2WD tranny and axles, they are a very intriguing little jeep. There was one model called the Convertible that was a two seater sporty model. It used the shorter 3B windshield and a fastback appearing top.

Over on Derek Redmond's 3B page is a discussion about this top. http://z4.invisionfree.com/CJ3B_Bulletin_Board/index.php?showtopic=5356

Charles Tate is attempting to recreate a Convertible but like all of us with convertibles, the top and bows are missing. If anyone knows of an original top we could get pictures of, please let me know. I know that some of our 3A's here are actually DJ models converted to 4WD, so I am hoping someone has a set of bows stuffed away somewhere or pieces� of a top. Or even brackets to attach the top.

If you have time, please look thru the linked thread and give me a holler if you have anything to add to the discussion or parts for a top. Many thanks in advance for anything, however small, you could add to the discussion.

If all else fails we can fab up a replacement and similar top as was suggested to us on Ewillys but...that's not the point of this discussion. We want to know just how WILLYS� did it.
