Re: need some soft top measurements please.

sorry,not enough info.

not sure of the brand,possibly not one???

im looking for where the bottom of the bars mount?
is it on the bedfloor,wheel tub,or bedside?

and looking for measurements like distance from frt or rr of bed floor
so i can have a decent starting point to make mine work.

thanks

Re: need some soft top measurements please.

Check the back window for a label, Kayline & Specialty Top (STC) put labels on the back window.
If it is an all snap top probly Kayline or Besttop...?

I have had Kayline & now I have STC "fasttrack"

What hardware came with the top?
You should have snaprails & support bars, both bolt to the top of the bed/tub. There is a bracket the support bars bolt to after you bolt it to the bed. The snaprail has a cut out were the bracket mounts....I'm at work so no access to mesurements of what I have...get some pics

Re: need some soft top measurements please.

I have PDFs of install instructions for STC Fastrack and Bestop. PM me your email address and I'll send them to you.

I've never had a soft top that had anything mounting to the floor.

Re: need some soft top measurements please.

My softtop is a Kayline. These are about all the pictures I have. I took them so I remember how to reinstall it.

My top has snaps screwed into the windshield frame and a rail that mounts onto the bedsides. No braces on the floor or anywhere else.

Re: need some soft top measurements please.

mine has no tags anywhere on it.might be homemade???

i got it from a fellow board member who got it insame condition.
got it for a VERY fair price.
top material is in excellent condition and with my fab skills i figure i can
make whatever parts i need.
ill get it out this weekend and take pics of all pieces.

i got a long piece that goes across top of windshield frame to hold front.

i got 2 support bar assys.one is just a single bar,the other is a 2 bar design.

and thats it.so i know i need a rail with snaps that attaches to the top of the bedrail or to just mount screws to the bedside and gate.other than that,not sure what i need.ill be back on monday with pics.

Re: need some soft top measurements please.

Here is a close up pic of the material type on my BestTop, maybe that will help you determine your brand.
I have some extra parts & pieces (rail that mounts to bed, bracket from bows to rail, & door window frame) for a BestTop if you figure out that's the brand you have.
