Do you still have the original frame for your soft top...? The frames have become just about as rare as the fabric...especially the old style frames that came on the 62's
However, BOTH can be fabricated, if you know the right people...

Yes (thank goodness

) when I took off the soft top frame, it was carefully stored including the side window glass.
All the Western snowplow equipment is stored too.

Found the photo of me and the Patrol, summer of 1977. Don't laugh
I believe this was probably taken as me and a buddy were getting ready to drive to Myrtle Beach SC for the 4th of July. Not loaded up yet but in those days we traveled light.

You can just see the 510 on the right.
Patrol looks good as a teenager.

Still shines. Looks like new highway tires, with the original military type spare. Vintage pics are so cool.
