Thought this would be a good place to re-post about the tops. Might save some of you from having to repaire them. About double wall tops.. When you got one new the dealers gave instructions on how to remove the tops. They said it was imparitive to unbolt it, slide it back on the bed rails far enough to get at the last bolt on each side. Them make a brace to go across the two holes, and drill it out and put the last two bolts back in, to keep it from folding in the middle when you picked it up from the sides. I made mine from old bed frame angle iron. I think very few of us left out their who ordered theirs new. So think these instructions have mostly been forgotten.
