    So I picked up a hard top and doors that i am hoping to use on my m38.
    I was cleaning it off and found the Koenig Tag still attached

    Looking at the sales brochures online for the tops i am trying to ID which model i have.
    The side windows are large and there are two small windows on each side of the rear liftgate.
    In the brochures the only top that has both of these seems to be the CJ3B top.
    Am I correct in the assumption that it is a CJ3b top or did they make CJ2 or CJ3a tops with the large side windows and small rears?

    Large glass and having extra corner windows was only used on the super cab models.
    Model 350 half cab or 355 full cab.
    With Koenig’s, the 3A and 3B use the exact same top.
    Only difference being that an additional sheet metal part was added to the 3B door frames.

    Take a look see at the front lower door frame to see if a special formed sheet metal extension is screwed on.
    If that extension is on the lower door frames then this top was last used on a 3B.
    If no addition at bottom of door frame then the top was last used on a 3A.
