I was going through the Legendary website looking for a vinyl roof for my '69 GTS. And I find they list both a 43" center deck and a 38" center deck. Which one is correct? There are no remnants of the original vinyl roof so I can't just go out and measure the old one.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I appreciate the photos and dimensions as they nail down the situation. As to which was correct, it seems the answer is that they both could be. 6bblgt's comment about the assembly plant is intriguing. Unless something else more definitive is unearthed, I think I'll go with the 43".

My original paint 69, 340 la built swinger is I believe 43. I would have to measure it again, left that part on the car. As I’m in process of restoring it. So I would know what to order when time comes. All original car Update I just measured it, most definitely 38”. Hope this helps someone.

I always used the 38" seam. I do have a couple of Western Sport Special's but don't remember if there is anything left of the vinyl tops, they are both parts cars...
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
