OEM soft top bows - Boston

[SouthBostonFJ40]

I have 10 sets of OEM soft top bows for sale. 5 sets are tentatively spoken for at the moment. These are Toyota OEM that I have had sanded and painted. In some cases, where a round tube was damaged, that part was cut out and replaced. The door surround pieces are OEM in all sets. I had them cut and sleeved to make shipping possible and the buyer will need to tack weld them back together. These are not Ehsan made reproductions. These include the windshield channel and the four tub attachment pieces. They will be in my hands on or about June 1st. PM me to be added to the list. I'll be collecting a deposit when I know the exact date that they will arrive. This will be sometime around May 20th.

$800 + shipping

Don't pay more for Real Steel reproductions.

Here's a teaser pic of the soft tops that I'll be selling soon...this one was the first sample.

Looking good Alex. Are they all set up for rear ambulance doors? Do you have any of those coming into the countryto work with the bows? I know these can work with the tail gate version but I think you would find a market for the doors if you had the top and bows to go with it.

No plans for doors yet, but I'll see if I can source some.

That is the ultimate plan. It takes a lot of money to pay for tops AND bows upfront. I don't like making people pre-pay and frankly most probably wouldn't feel comfortable doing so, which I understand. Hopefully the people who buy the bows will come back and buy a top when I get them, but right now there's a few options out there.

True statement!!! Upfront costs are a lot.

So these are used OEM bows then? Not re-MFG'd...if so that is a good deal. I thought I was getting them remade cheap but couldn't get much lower than $850 to make it worth while. Even then I had to order a few more than I wanted to pay for personally and hope they sell.

Hope you can get some soft top front doors in as well. I haven't been able to get any answers back if I can get them made and I could use some myself.

Alex I think you missed my question. Are these all setup with the extra bow in the back for ambulance doors? It's that bow and rear ambulance doors tops I'm interested in. Have a pre 64 soft top model that came from the factory with barns door but the different front door openings. The standard top and bows wouldn't work even the soft top ambulance door open wrong side first and would have to be reworked.

 

[SouthBostonFJ40]

I guess I did. Yes, these have the extra bows in the back for soft ambulance doors. I'll see if I can source some of those too.

This picture shows the T shapes bars with hinge bracket that you're talking about.

I am interested in a set of bows, I wouldn't mind "un-restored" bows for a better price!

Also and word on pricing for the soft tops?

Thanks!

At this point I have 10 buyers for 10 sets of bows so I will start a waiting list. As soon as I have a definitive ship date, I will be collecting deposits. If at that time, any buyer changes their mind, I will offer them to the first person the waiting list.
