FMTV / LMTV top on M35

[sermis]

I got my new / almost new top, thanks Builder77. I got it on my new truck. I have the metal uprights and bows that are about 13" taller than a deuce. I cut 3 " off each upright. The top looks good. I might need to add some pipe or flat stock to help mount the top in the stock location of the FMTV but I think it looks and works good for now.

Look'n good, whats a top like that runnin about these days give or take?

Glad to see that is worked out so well. It actually appears to fit fairly well. I know the LMTV has a more flat top then the bowed M35. That does not appear to be anything that can't be worked around. Like you were saying too you can stand upright with is a very nice thing.

Looks good, what did the taller bows fit originally? Wayne

RE: m35

Not really sure what the bows are off of.

do the FMTV / LMTV's have pipe for the bows?

Tubular bows with a 45 degree shoulder and they come to a very shallow peak on top (almost flat, but not quite). The attached picture should show what I mean if it comes out with enough detail.

Actually looks reallly good. The standup feature makes it even better. Have knocked my head on a crossbow many times.

Well, because of this thread, I picked up an FMTV top from Maddawg(great condtion, great price). Has anyone got a pic or dimensions of the frame work? How about a TM for the FMTV, would that have the info I am searching for?

I have a frame out back, FMTV or LMTV I can get some pic's or measurements.
I might could use another top.
I am using another frame on my truck, not sure what it is off of.
It uses 1 x 3 squsre tubing legs into the troop seat pockets and the same tubing
as bows. Curved on the corners and a slight peak on the top center.
Look at pic 007

Look at pic 007? Whats that mean? How much you want for that frame?

I may be modding my duece this way at 6'3" the bowing down inside is getting harder every year

How much do those covers go for? I have to get new bows anyway and my cover has a big hole in it. I'd love to be able to stand up inside of the bed with the cover on!
