factory soft top

Just bot a soft top from 71blaz. He says it's an original, which is cool. I'm trying to sort out the hardware and stuff (w/out the Fox; it's getting it's new tanks, ignition, and rocker panels) and see how it goes together. Any help? Instructions, parts list, pix, etc. would be helpful. I'm betting I'm going to have to make some improvements anyway.

You can download the instructions for the specialty top co tops on their web site. They are probably different, but it might help.

Here's the link to the pdf for the 69-72 snap top (this is a link to a pdf!)

I had the same problem with the factory soft top hardware. Could not find anything and the mice made a nest it in and it is now full of holes.

Thanks, Bouncytruck. It helped a lot, though not identical. I think I'll fab some harware to make it closer. I'm also gonna see if I can't make the front part just flip back like some jeep tops I've seen.
