Softtop & Accessories Willys M38

Why Soft Top and Hardware on the Willys M38 Need Renewal After Decades.

The Willys M38 was built as a military vehicle for tough field use – its soft top system and related hardware are correspondingly rugged, but after more than 70 years, wear is inevitable. The soft top bow frame loses its tension through corrosion and material fatigue, so the top no longer sits properly. The steel frame brackets loosen or rust through, destabilizing the entire structure. Original field tops from this era are rarely available in usable condition anymore, which is why a complete replacement top is often the most practical solution. The rear pintle hitch, a long-standing feature of this vehicle generation, also suffers from rust and mechanical stress during towing and recovery. Anyone driving off-road or restoring their vehicle to original spec should inspect these parts regularly.

• Soft Top Frame: The soft top frame forms the sturdy base for the field top.
• Frame Brackets: The soft top frame bracket secures the bow structure reliably to the body.
• Complete Top Replacement: The Tigertop soft top including doors brings back the classic look with modern functionality.
• Pintle Hitch: The pintle hitch tow hook is built for towing and recovery duty.
