Re: Need help finding a half-top!!!!!
 

I will try to find him. Thanks

Re: Need help finding a half-top!!!!!
 

Already gone!!

Re: Need help finding a half-top!!!!!
 

When they are for sale, they go quickly. The two you listed above are the only "new" ones I've seen. They wanted around $1000 each.

I'd suggest putting a "wanted" ad on craigslist or another online classified site. Other than that, ya just gotta keep your eyes open. Hit all the swap meets and let all your friends, family & friends-friends know your looking.

Re: Need help finding a half-top!!!!!
 

That composidyne must be out of business or their web site doesn't work. I am going to contact my rod shop tomorrow. I will deffinatley keep my eyes open and I put a want add on craiglist already. Reckon I could make one out of my full top? Thanks, Kade

Re: Need help finding a half-top!!!!!
 

If you have some skills with fiberglass, I don't know why you couldn't cut down a full top. You'll need to build a bulk head too.

Re: Need help finding a half-top!!!!!
 

My old man is the shiz on stuff like that and I have a friend that owns a custom hot rod shop, maybe he could help. Will I need a bulkhead if I go with a bed cover? What is a bulkhead? I am pretty new at this.
Thanks, Kade

Re: Need help finding a half-top!!!!!
 

The bulk head is the divider between the cab and the bed. They were/are made of steel. You should be able to fad one up. Now, to find a donar top. If your current top is good, I'd hold on to it and start with a top that needs some help.

You know there are soft tops available. Specialty Top Co makes two versions. They are quality built and come in handy if you get caught in a rain storm.

Re: Need help finding a half-top!!!!!
 

I'm after one too! I have also been toying with the idea of using a top off of a truck. I have a 72 that beyond repair, would use it for practice. I think a truck front panel could be modified for the bulk head. A guy a few blocks from me did this with a truck top and the back of the cab was used as a bulk head. ( top and bulk head is all one piece) Have not seen it close up but he did tell me that it unbolts, although he was planning on welding it all up. (no top off, screw that!) I'l post again after I talk to him, If it looks like good work I'll ask to take some picks.

Re: Need help finding a half-top!!!!!
 

I used to know a guy in Texas that made and sold these tops.....if someone is interested, drop me a PM and I will try to dig up his contact information.

Re: Need help finding a half-top!!!!!
 

I thought about that also. Let me know how it turns out.

Re: Need help finding a half-top!!!!!
 

Yeah mine is in good shape except the guy that built it didn't pull the glass out and finish smoothing it. I may have to gust keep dreaming.Thanks, Kade
