Can someone with a hardtop measure the distance from the top of the door frame to the highest point of the hardtop?

TIA,
Todd Z.

Inside dimension is about 4-5/8" from the top of the door frame to the peak of the inside roof skin. If you go to the bow, it's 1/2" less. These dimensions are inferred from the floor, 45.75-41.125 = 4.625, so probably +/- 1/8" easy.

Thanks Tobin! Your measurements are certainly close enough for what I need.

Close! Actually I'm helping some friends with a racing Bronco project and they were asking for some dimensions as they didn't have any baseline information to go from with the modified body on the rig they're building.

Saweet! If they add a disco ball, I'm takin' credit. Is there a build thread on this alleged racing Bronco project or is all heresay at this point?

It's very much a going concern, but no threads here on classic on it.

It's had some pix shown in this thread on gofastbroncos:

Unfortunately you may need to be a member to view the pics. It's a '91 frame and drivetrain with a stretched/widened EB body on it. It's going to Bill Savage this week to get approved for SCORE. The rear suspension has some versatility and can run leafs or coilovers depending on the series/class rules.

Cool rig, thanks for sharing. I could see the pictures without being a member, so no worries there. I love some of the ingenuity that goes into making TTB front suspensions work on the cheap...the killer desert fab doesn't hurt either.
