I need a favor... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hopefully I will start on the install of my S&W Cage this weekend. I don't want to get my hard top out of storage so can someone take a couple of measurements for me......the only one I need is for the main hoop. Just a measurement from the floor(the raised part) to the top. A measurement at each end and one in the middle.

Thanks a million

Anybody......I really don't want to drag that hard top out.

I'll try to hook you up tomorrow. Just put my top back on in fact. Is yours a singlewall or double? I assume the double would have a bit less clearance than the single (mine's a single).Of course, the 2wd in the garage is a double as I think about it, so I guess I could measure whichever one you like. It's dark as hell here right now and I haven't rewired my garage yet so it's even darker!

This may be too late, but here is what I have from when I had one made. From the raised floor to the top was about 43". I do not have measurements for the ends, but I estimated about a 3 inch taper to the end. When I had mine made, I left the hardtop on so I could be positive it would fit. I also had him leave enough room for some foam pads to go around the bar. Hope this helps.
