Dual Bronco Soft Top

[DrewBran]

I recently broke the factory soft top on my 22 Basesquatch and am looking to get a replacement. I want another of the Ford OEM square backs to replace it. I have found someone within driving distance that has a soft top available that was included as part of the “dual top” option. Is there anything on the soft top packaging that would indicate if it is the OEM square back or the Bestop slant back? I’ve included a picture from the post incase that helps someone determine which top it is. Thanks in advance for the help!!

That is an OEM.

Agree, that is the OEM version. I have dual top, received the car two weeks ago, and mine came in that exact same packaging, straps and all. But ask the seller to confirm via their original window sticker if you'd like.

Bonus, I believe your old one didn't have the rain traps along the top? This one does. I had my tops switched out last week to the soft top, love it!

Besttop comes in 2 boxs. It says Bestop on the label. Also if the top is out of the box assembled. It says Bestop on a tag on it and its slant back not square.
If its assembled on that grey tray its a OEM, Besttop does not come assembled, comes disassembled in 2 boxs.

Dual top, if I recall, was just Ford's way of pushing Broncos out the door for people who wanted MIC, but they couldn't make the MICs fast enough. So they made them "dual top" so people would feel good about buying a soft top now, knowing it would be a quick drop-in upgrade to the MIC (much) later on.

I don't think it affected the soft top design at all, I think it just puts an extra bracket or two in place for the MIC to be installed later on.

*edit*

never mind - Dual top is both tops, I was thinking of "hard top ready" or whatever they called it.

Thank you all for the replies. It looked like the OEM square box, but just wanted to verify. Appreciate the help!
