Does anyone know of a source for quality M38 door frames? Also will cj3a frames work if I don't mind them not folding. The top will be from New Life canvas, any suggestions? Thanks

Check out MD Juan as the primary supplier or report door frames. DL Bensinger, MidWest Military, and others carry them. Check with John Bizal of MidWest Military for suggestions.
There was a whole series of posts on the door frames and other items with the MD Juan folks about 4 years ago. Check under the product vendor review section.

I think you will find slight differences between civilian jeep door frames and the military door frames. The original M38 door frames did not fold. The later folding door frames fit the same opening and mounting that the early non-folding door frames fit.

Here's a few useful links:
