Default T-top question
Hello to all new vette owner but no new to old Chevy's I recently bought a 74 vette but with a 80 body. I think the tops are from the 74 back part of the top has a v in it for the triangle bolt also has a place for the back latch lever. The body has a plate with a spring loaded push switch. Is there an easy fix.

Yes that is the 74 style top. If you can find the rear guide plate and triangular bolt it should bolt up there and work. If not you will need to get you some later tops.

Thanks for the info. One other question is there a latch that also goes on the back to hold it there.
