I found a used Mills Sun Top locally that came with a SS frame for my 1978 Montauk. It's tall and heavy! Not sure of exact height. I purchased a Carver slide track kit online so it could be mounted on the gunwales and slid up front outside the bow rail for storage. It takes up lots of room inside the rails and my wife and kids like to sit there on the bow cushion when cruising. Plus its much easier to position the top fore or aft with the slide rails. I had posted a thread about mounting the track on the gunwales and wanted to find out if there was wood backing there, but I think it's not needed...well I haven't had any issues with it pulling out...yet.

You can see a pic of the track on my personal page.
