Rusty,

I would think one of the guys that have a number of trucks sitting around would have them. Also, some of the guys in your neck of the woods commonly have spare parts. Do you know Brad or Stephanie? I know Stepanie in on SS from time to time and is heavily involved in the Ft Worden event listed in the events part of the forums. You might want to check there. Also, one of my buddies switched from a soft top to the hard top. I'll see if he still has his old parts.

Brian, are these people around in Washington state or Oregon ? I have never heard of Brad or Stephanie . Though to be fair I have never gone to any meets as they are all down south in the Chehalis area and further on south.

Are you looking for the entire soft top cab kit or just the three bows that support it over the cockpit?

I bought a set a few years back along with the cab storage bracket, from Saturn Surplus. I heard somewhere that Mark sold all his Deuce parts to Dave Newman at Eastern Surplus though.
I guess you should try both of them first, then TnJ Murray, then Memphis Equipment Parts.

Why not just make some and save a little money? I made two that I was missing out of 1/4" rod (think that was the size, and can be found at any hardware store) using the stock one I had as template. Tools needed were bolt cutters, vise, and a large hammer plus spray paint if you desire. Totaled around $6 and worked just as well as the ones on the other two trucks I own with soft tops.

I thought the bows where made out of spring steel or at least tempered steel. If there not then making them out of 1/4" rod would be an option.

I think it is 5/16 rod. At least the one rod that came with my truck that I copied was. You can also take the opportunity to make them slightly longer if you have extra sag on you top. If I recall, you need to get a 4 foot rod from the hardware store as 3 foot was too short.
