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.
