You might try: http://www.astrotops.com/
They're just down the road from me, but I've never dealt with them.

The glass in the original tops was made with invironmentally unfriendly stuff, so they don't make it any more. If you want original ones, you have to get used. Ebay is probably the best bet for price, but be careful about shipping. Get a firm quote before you commit to buy. God bless, Sensei

to spiderwed real bad with time. If you want tops, buy the real deal
or wait till you can afford it. JMHO.
You can go to the C-4 section and ask about the spiderwebbing.
they all do it.

Ive got a pair of tops like your wanting lying in my shop. They are cracked all to hell, but you're welcome to them if you can replace the glass. I dont know if you can or not? How cheap is that?

What all changes are needed to make these the 78-82 T-Tops fit a 68 ? I bought the recivers but are there any other hidden suprizes? One thing come to mind was the chrome piecethat is bolted to the roof that holds part of the head liner hanges out that recieves the hold dowm=n for the early tops, AL.
