Hard top shape question ?

[bigbird1]

ok, I just got my first m35a2 with hard top, belonged to a young guy who only had it a month and used it as his only mode of transportation , that didn't last long lol . but the hard top looked to be bowed in in the center, is the top back hump straight across or does it have a dip in the center like maybe he and his girlfriend sat on it?

The hard tops just seem to get sat on / stood on! for some reason..I personally "pushed" the bows out of mine. All three of them.

The hard tops got abused in service alot of units sop was to store the camo nets and poles up there. In the desert the higher up you are the farther you can see so folks on OP would stand and sit up there.

Put a 2/6 through the door window openings and jack the top back into shape with a bottle jack and a piece of wood against the top. If you're careful it will correct the problem almost 100%. If you are not careful - - - - -

Great, will give it a try, I had blamed it on a big girl all this week and in fact it might be military misuse lol thanks guys This thing is great I think I'm in love!!!!

I wouldnt call it military misuse.. It's soliders doing what they have to do with camo netting, and making the camo nets easy to deploy and use. Take the net, roll one side to the middle, and repeat with the other. Makes camo'ing vehicles much easier. Especially 5K tankers.

The hard top was the only part of the deuce not over built. I wonder why no one thought that the roof of a big truck might be sat or stood on by soldiers.
