As far as the bows go, is this it? This is only the second soft top that I've seen in person and the other didn't have anything.

Is this part still available from Toyota, I have a rail from from $pector Offroad bikini top is it exactly the same as the Toyota OEM one? Can someone please post a picture of the OEM rail?
Thanks.
Other than the bows, you should have a dash light with a switch to the right of the glovebox, two ring eye bolts at the front of the door jams, and some oversized nuts on the sides of the tub behind the seats. The eyes and the oversized nuts are used to attach the safety straps.
There are also some long bolts with tubing that attach to the sides of the tub, towards the back. I don't know what they're for, probably some strap attachment.
I've got a pair of the long bolts with the tubing and a pair of the oversized nuts for the safety straps. If you need them, let me know. I took them from a '73 FST in a junk yard. That rig is the one below with blue over orange. I couldn't get the #170 and #175 brackets. The bolts were rusted and I had no power for my dremel tool.

Looks like you've got all the parts except for #1 in brew8s' post. I ordered that part from Spector but you may be able to get it from Toyota . Part #170 I ended having to fab myself.
Is thit it? It doesn't strike me as genuine Toyota, but the holes do line up with bolts on top of the windshield frame.
Yep that looks like it. Many be a little rusty but that looks like the OEM part. It's a one piece at least thru 73

So what year? A 69?

Is this part still available from Toyota, I have a rail from from $pector Offroad bikini top is it exactly the same as the Toyota OEM one? Can someone please post a picture of the OEM rail?if you have an old rope style channel (round), it will work, but the newer lip style channel (flat channel) won't. i use an old kayline rope style bikini channel with my oem top.

I can post a picture tonight. I hauled my 73 back from up north a few weeks ago and brought all the soft top parts with it. It is square tubing not round but the opening is on the bottom not the front.
This 69 looks like it needs to be restored unless I'm missing a bunch of rust somewhere. If you don't want it sell it to someone who does and make a few bucks. Don't find two many factory soft tops with all the parts still there. You don't need a tub for your titled 63?
