Bed Bows for 1/2 ton Closed Cab

I've got a Dodge WC40 (closed cab pickup). I'm making bows for the canvas cover over the bed, using metal corner pieces and 3 straight pieces of wood for each bow. Can someone tell me the height the top surface of the top bow should be above the bed wood?
Thanks,
Don

Since the arched bows adds several inches to the center height, compared to flat bows, you might have to mock it up with the canvas and see what looks right.

I found some info. On the G503 forum that may, or may not help. It’s for a WC 3 : https://forums.g503.com/viewtopic.php?t=210890
