I am thinking about buying the top off this jeep but I need to know if it will fit my cj2a which has a cj3a windshield. It appears to be a cj3b but the windshield seems out of place?? My windshield is 27 inches tall.
Any help would be great, Thanks

The 3B top will be a bit different at the windshield (that 3B has a fold out w/s!!)

Look at these dimensions and you can compare with your 2A w/s frame to help visualize.

Yeah, that "Safari" fold out windshield is really cool.
If you can't get there in a Jeep you don't need to be there!

Yes the Koenig half and full cab fits either the 3A or 3B.

For 3A you only need unbolt and remove a small (about 4”) filler strip that is located on each door support.

The folding windshield was a 3B option.
I have a Koenig Super half cab on my 3B. I absolutely love it.
Very easy to heat in winter.
Doors can easily be removed for summer driving.
My halfcab is currently mounted to a standard 3B windshield.
But I love the idea of extra ventilation for use with a solid cab.
Do you know if that w/s is for sale ?
I know where to get a complete NOS 3B ventilating w/s but it’s not cheap. 
What to do ??? Talk me outta it …
