    The hard top you have was made by Meyer for Jeep, You could get the same thing for a CJ5 up till about 1980 here in the states. It has the optional swinging rear door and full view windows.
    Love the spare tire rack.

    I wonder if that Orrville Products was/is located here in Orrville, OH. There's a fiberglass shop here in town that used to make glass Jeep bodies back in the day. I have talked to the owner and he said due to licensing and demands they no longer make them...but they still have the molds.

    Did some investigationg last night and found that there WAS an Orrville Products here in Orrville, OH and they did make tops and such. I guess the business went under and they tore the building down years ago though.

    The fiberglass shop here in town is called Monarch Plastics...if anyone cares :)

    This is the only one I got at work. The original spare mount is the black square w/ the round marker light on it. It's pretty rough here and the doors are off. It's pretty much just like a Meyer's. I sold it to Rondog. I don't know if he's had a chance to clean it up or not. If you need more PM one of us w/ your e-mail.:v6: View attachment 21284
