I am looking at buying a 1947 willy's jeep. I was told that the m38 canvas top should fit right on it, can anyone confirm this? I have pics of the jeep in the photo album link in my signature.

You will need the M38 top bows and footman loops were the canvas straps down.
That is if the top is a military one. The CJ2A (that is what your 47 is) and the M38 had about the same size tub. But one being military and the other civilian, that had different style tops. The CJ 2A top bows came apart, were the M38 folded down.
To answer your quiston, yes, with some mods.

Hi
It depends on which windshiled you have.
Either way you will need to use MB,GPW or M38 bows and bow brackets
the MB,GPW top would work better with a 2A windshield as they both use 10 fasteners acroos the top edge .
The M38 top is you have the later M38, CJ3A windshield sued the channel across the top edge.
