I saw a thread about issues with the bolts for the top seem to break or strip. I like the idea about changing nuts to wing nuts should I use any special grade of bolt and wing nut like all stanless steel? Also on my 70 GMC Jimmy the PO had to replace and weld in the metal strip above the windsheild and below the top. maybe he didn't get it lined up quite right. Could I use the rain deflectors for the 71-72 on my 70 I know I would have to drill some holes. But if you know anyone who have done this on their 70 and it solve the water problem I would do it in a second.
Thanks for your help this website has been so helpful and informative I don't know what I would have done without this forum!!
