Looking for the guide rails to complete my cab. Top. Anyone out there have a set I could purchase.

No Jim these. They attach to the bottom of the front wood bow.

Ah, that one. In our '60 Cab it was in one piece, I think an enterprising PO welded them together. Haven't seen it reproduced, much like the little aluminum pieces on the front wood bow that fit on the locating pins (but those are easy to make).

Should have them. They aren't seen without taking the top apart, under the headliner from what I'm told.

Btw found some.
