Deuce hard top size

[sermis]

Ok I have a 1967 deuce. The cab measures 70 at the back 63 at the windshield. I found a hard top that has a tag inside that says 2 1/2 ton 5 ton enclosure. The hard top measures 82 back and 75 windshield. What is going on here?

is it for the new 2 1/2 -5ton (FTV ?) trucks???

No idea, I thought they were the same.

the 800 series 5 tons and the 2.5 ton trucks shared the same cab, hence the same hard top. 900 series 5 tons used bigger cabs

that PN comes back to NSN 2540-01-096-5023 which is the 800 series/ M35A2 hard top kit...

Hard top

I too had the same trouble, I bought a good condition hard top but it appears to be to big for mine as well. If any one is looking for one let me know. I also wound up with a rusty brand new fender off of (I think a 5 ton) It has a part number painted on it.

RE: Hard top

Yep same type of tag that is in my top. Contract # and Ordinance # are different.
