Windshield to to rear tailgate dimension.

Post by DanS »

I know I have seen this dimension somewhere, but can't locate it now. I am pre fitting my windshield on my M38 and need the distance from the top of the windshield to the rear tailgate. Please advise. Thanks.

I only recall a few of actual present day measurements. I always use the door frames and the top as my guide to the best position for the top of the windshield.

My M38 also measures 67 1/2 in from inside the top windshield frame to the inside of the tailgate. We have a trend going here on measurements.

How well do your canvas tops fit at 67.5"? A picture is worth a thousand words here! :wink:
