I just picked up a Whitco half softtop with soft doors ,was curious if I can convert it to hard door model with some parts swapping ?
Any information would be greatly appreciated

No, not easily. If I remember correctly the fabric is different around the door surrounds. The hard door top wraps around some large metal door surround pieces; the soft door surround pieces are much smaller. The vertical and horizontal pieces behind/over the doors are totally different.

Thanks for the info Jersey the only thing is my Jeep is an 83 but this top has no holes for shoulder belts so that indicates earlier model.
Now do I put holes for shoulder belts or try to find 80-81 lap belts if I can source some !!!

Besides holes, the later tops have an extra zipper on each flap on either side of back window. I installed a NOS white top on my tan Scrambler. It had the zippers, but they came without the bolt holes, so I had to cut them. Makes you clinch up a hair cutting two holes in a NOS Whitco top :D
