Hard Top?

This hard top has been on local CL (fairly local, 2 hrs away). Says it is for a '68. While I do have a '68 and a '69, the '69 is the one I'd rather put it on. I honestly haven't looked at this closely as the '69 is a recent purchase, but I think I remember the windshield frame shape changed between the two years? If true, likely easily remedied with a windshield swap.

Still debating as I don't really "need" it, it is missing some glass and clearly needs some work...could likely get it for $200-250 since it has been listed for 2 weeks now.

I am dead center on the fence and would welcome any feedback talking me into or out of this...

Hard top and doors for 68 cj5

 

I think the top will still be interchangeable, as the shape of the windshield glass was the difference, not the top of the windshield. The physical windshield size changed in '76.

 

Most important is the filler pieces that go onto the windshield and the hinges for the doors. Without those pieces the top has very little value of it's own.

 

I personally, and that means my preference, is to not have a top at all, I like my Jeep the best with the windshield laid down, no doors or top. I do use my soft top in early spring and late Summer, but enjoy it most with no top at all, my dog doesn't have to stick her head out the window. Good Luck.

 

I like the door knobs on the doors.
