    Thanks Nate! If you find any from the drivers side that would be great. I found a set and am trying to see if there the right thing, they have a zippered opening down low for hand signaling like the 2a ones.

    Here is mine (what's left) that were originally on it when I bought it in 1970. There were no other mounting holes or screws other than what held this on so I assume it to be original. Cannot find any tags or names. The top is long rotted away and gone[​IMG]
    and the other side[​IMG]
    Does this help? Walt.

    I'd still get them even if they were for a flatty. Somebody might be looking for a set. ;)

    When was it mandatory to have turn signal lights on vehicles?

    That looks like a later style folding top per the CJ3B page here-

    Although the tops appears very similar to each other I'm not sure the door would be exactly the same-

    New life doesn't make a top for the the CJ5 yet. I used the M38A1 pic because it is pretty close to a 5.

    Hi here in Calif. it looks like the two AUTHORIZED Tops from the Dealer are the Meyers Hard top and the Whitco Tops. Sold my Meyers Top but still have a few Photos. I'll try later to attach Photos of the soft top. Hope this helps

    If they make one that fits an A1, they have one that'll fit a CJ5. :)

    Yup, but it won't be "right".

    Yeah, it'll be fine, but not 'right" which I believe is the point to having a forum section called "Early Jeep *Restoration* and *Research*"

    Seth, you still need more photos? I can mosey down to the shop sometime today and get some pics of a very dusty 68 with original Whitco top. I also have an extra set of white Whitco doors someplace but not sure what shape they are in.
