Re: 31 Steel Top CCPU
In 1973, I fitted a late '31 steel top to my 1930 AA cloth top cab. It fit fine and it is still in place today. See our 1973 photo.

Re: 31 Steel Top CCPU
Did you have to cut the leading edge off the cab back to get the steel top to fit.

Re: 31 Steel Top CCPU
I bought the late '31 steel top cab wood kit from Mikes A Fordable parts. For what Mike's charged, the wood kit was a bargain. No guess work, as all the parts fit together very well. Missing the steel bows? The wood door headers are notched for the steel bows to slip straight up into their nesting place, so the steel bows could easily be installed at a later date. The bows' tension against the top can be adjusted by how far they are pushed up against the top, and then screwed into that permanent location.

Re: 31 Steel Top CCPU
I made my steel top conversion 43+ years ago so my memory is a little fuzzy on that detail that I did back then. From what I did this winter though, yes, you will have to cut off the leading lip shown in your photo. Install your new rear header and you will see that in order for both the back wall and the new steel top to properly butt up to each other in the same channel, that excess lip will have to leave.

Re: 31 Steel Top CCPU
Rusty, can you provide an image of the area you're looking for dimensions and fitting on?

Re: 31 Steel Top CCPU
