How was the top bolted together?

Are you talking about this or the mount it goes in? 1949 Canadian Built Chevy 1434 (3804 US equivalent) In the Stovebolt Gallery 1949Chevy.com - Photo blog describing the teardown and restoration AD Radio Rebuild

Not uncommon on these trucks as original motors blew-up and a different engine was installed, or they overheated due to fan inefficencies. 1950 Chevrolet 3/4-Ton 3600 More pictures on Flickr
