« on: March 21, 2024, 08:14:37 AM »
How well would an M38 canvas top fit on a CJ3A? Has anyone tried this? Thanks

Well as the tubs and Windshields are dimensionally exactly the same I would assume the fit would be the same.

This may not look like it, but it is a 3A with an M38 top.  What set of top bows do you have?

That top looks great on your 3A ! We have complete original set of 3A top bows on ours. What set of bows are you using ?

These are M38 top bows.  The yellow Jeep has 3A bows.  I have never tried the M38 top on the 3A bows.  Although the demensions are similar between the M38 and the CJ3A, securing an M38 top on a CJ3A with 3A bows comes with complications.
