    I think AJ's fiberglass used to offer one, but I don't think that's the case anymore. I think you're going to find that you need to look at used units or fabricate one.

    I'm not too far from you. I've looked around all over the place here but haven't really found anyone with any good used ones. I'm always looking, but I'm not really in the market for one right now so if I come across one I'll let ya know.

    I'm assuming metal, never seen a 'glass one in a 1/2 cab.

    I know that there were fiberglass 1/2 cabs for the later CJ-5s made. Acme I think.

    I have a metal halfcab in North Alabama. It needs some work, but I think it is repairable. I am at work right now, I could post some pic's in the morning. Send me a PM if you are interested. I have the metal doors and hinges also.

    Sledgehammer Sure, I'll try it

    Sort of off topic but I saw a canvas military half cab Sunday. It is on an M38A1 that an old man here has. Very Cool. That is the only one I've ever seen. Not that they are rare just never have seen one.

    Here is a nice vinyl one supposedly on a '64. Don't know anything about it though. I have been keeping my eye out for another.

    Don't know if you have seen any of the work on these tops that the Amish down that way have done, but I have a buddy who they made a couple Samurai tops for, and those things looked like came from the factory. I don't know exactly who it was who did the tops for him, but it was an excellent job.

    Oh yeah man, there tops are far superior in quality and craftsmanship to any comercial top. The Amish tend to **** me off at times (midnight on the highway with only a latern hanging off the back of the buggy in the middle of a fog.....) but as far as there work it can't be beat, they just don't get in hurry. The more I think about it I will probably go that route with a snap on half cab consisting of a top, removable back, removable back window, bedcover type deal so in the summer you can swap back and forth to a enclosed cab/bikini top/no top in minutes.
