Hey, welcome to the "club". I have a hard top and live near Saratoga ny. I only drive mine in the good weather and have a Bestop. Good luck on the project.

Sure,I never use it and prob never will. Not sure what its worth. Its a double wall top off of my 70. Its in decent shape all glass is there rear struts work. The back twist handle is broke off but I think they are not hard to replace.

I am now looking for the boot that goes on the bell housing around the clutch fork (3 speed on the tree). What are the recomendations on a clutch for this truck? I am also looking for a new tie rod (not the ends) mine is bent (thinking of manufacturing my own). I can't find any on the internet.

Re: New to this
 
The main tie rod that runs from wheel to wheel is often bent on these 4X4's because people hook a chain on them. The aren't reproduced. Take it off and straighten it carefully with a sledge and some 2 by 4's. It is a heavy hollow tube. You can check straightening progress by rolling on a flat surface.

I bought a rust free tub.
Make me an offer on the green tub above. I would concider it in all right condition. the doors closed and latched fine. it does have holes in the tortion boxes and some holes in the floor that looks like they have been rivit patched and undercoated. the doors have a little rust on the bottom. all the guts are there on the doors. I am keeping the front. make me some offers.
