68LSS1 · 09-15-2003, 07:41 PM

yes, 67-72 trucks. I sent them a email as I'm curious how/if it goes through the back wall of the cab.

OK, I called them and they don't have any pictures of the '67-'72 truck set ups. However, I did ask them about how it goes through the back of the cab and they said it goes through the window. Solid, welded tube, no flange. So I guess now I will be making a Lexan/plexiglass back window. The only other option would be modifying it to go through the back wall of the cab itself (but would have to have the cage recertified) or make my own (and again getting it certified, which I was trying to stay away from). I was planning on using a hard bed cover and using Autoloc actuators to raise it (with the transmitter). I wonder how far the tubes extend back?
