    Are 3A and 3B hard tops interchangeable? I know the soft tops are, but I'm not sure about the hard tops.

    Actually the soft top doors are definately different.
    The remainder of the rag top is identicle. See:

    Some hard cabs interchange and some do not.
    My Koenig deluxe half cab fits both.
    It uses a filler piece located at the door jamb to fit the shorter 3B WS frame.
    It's stricktly a difference of how the W/S is fitted to the door jamb.

    Thats what I thought, it was the difference between the two cowl heights.

    The door shape is definitely different due to the taller cowl.
