Follow up: The '03 top went into the '97 Chassis perfectly. Yes, it's got an extra bow. I don't see any aesthetic difference. It's also got the glass window w/ defrost. Took about 4 hours to swap out working slowly. The lion's share of the time was rewiring the relay panel and new microswitch pigtail. There were some sheet metal issues where the tansmissions mount so that needed repaired & reinforced. Actually removing the old top and installing the new one took @ 30 minutes. It's only 3 bolts on each side. It's easier to replace the whole unit than just the fabric. All in, less than $600 for the whole thing.
