Meyer Hard Top What Will It Fit

I have found a top and I don't know if it will fit my 74 cj5 is there a place that i can find this out.

 

There are Meyer cabs for both pre- and post-76. 1976 is the watershed. Likely you can tell from the filler strips that seal the doors to the top. Sorry I don't have anything more specific for you.

If it's from a '76 or newer Jeep, it won't fit.

 

yes right here
just post us some pictures

 

The guy thinks it’s fits a cj3?

 

ask the guy if it still has any of glass to it
glass has a date code on it
no mention of doors or hardware with it
sticker on mine

 

the doors are good all hardware and glass the side windows in the top are gone back glass is good i can get it for $300

 

what filler parts will i need?

 

windshield filler pieces (2) L&R
upper door hinge (2) L&R
lower door hinge (2) L&R
most miss placed part . for the doors . filler strip for gas tank indent (1)

 

do you have a pic of them he has the hinges but no filler plates

 

sorry got busy
windshield filler

gas tank area

 

That door filler piece is easy to make. I made a few of them out of rectangle aluminum bar stock from the hardware store. I bent it and even countersunk the holes for the screws.

I'd make sure he has for sure the upper hinge halves that bolt to the windshield frame. Those are really the hardest ones to reproduce correctly. But I have seen them replicated out of angle and black iron pipe like from the hardware store as well. One of the tops I bought as a kid had a set like that and they held the doors on for 30 years! LOL! I think I might have one of them somewhere. I'll have to look.

 

Interesting discussion.
will have to check the 5er Meyer top I just brought home,
it was taken off a 1981, that the mechanic said had the windshield hold down loose,
to allow the windshield to tilt forward and bolt up to the top in front.
Was running soft doors, with no z strips, and they kept all except the steel top.

 

Got a picture of the factory sticker with a serial number hope that will help determine if it is pre or post 1975.
Don't know how to upload image. Sticker is a black background with lettering in silver

Thx, had seen that model # info before, but couldn't locate it.
The top measures just like the other CJ5 top in the barn, front to back and side to side at the windshield.
