    Looks like a Meyer to me.
    Also looks pretty tender along the bottom, and has either been cut down or pieces added onto the rear corner.
    Best thing is the w/s has the filler plates on it, and I can see one upper door hinge. Hopefully you can find the other, because they are scarce. Take a yard stick, lay it on the front vertical edge of the door, and measure back to the upper edge of the door frame.
    Take that dimension and measure the same on your '63.
    A better shot of the w/s would tell me right away. I wouldn't pay alot for it, my buddy may still have the one off his '75 for short $$.

    It's a Meyer cab. Looks like an early windshield (note the latches), which makes it ok for your '63.

    If you get it, get all the parts, or ask for a significant discount. The front door hinges in particular are 100% unobtainium. If they are missing, you'll likely have to make them. You also want the filler strips. I can help with rear door stuff if needed, but try to get everything. Also, that brown paint can hide a lot of defects...

    Thanks for the feedback. The top and doors came with my jeep, the guy wanted to sell it all together. Probably bumped up the price $125 or so. Looks like I am missing two hinges that mount to the body (trouble). Not sure if I will use the top, it would have been nice to have on here in upstate New York for the winter (mild so far).
