I need a soft top

[jonathon]

There was someone here that cut down a top and used that for snaps. Then just run a truck tail gate when your using the soft top and be done with it(though I imagine it'd be a mother to swap back and forth).

I'll probably have the snaps put on the body. My only concern is that they come off so when I paint it I don't paint over them, though I think they simply screw in with sheet metal screws(am I right?).

For the Tailgate you could use moulding tape(stuff that body shops use) and have a strip with the snaps installed and then tape it to the body.

Weird... I called them 2 weeks ago and they said "special order". Hmm.

That would be great if they did.

As far as screws/snaps; Yes, they are just screwed in with sheet metal screws. I wouldn't use angle as an alternative to screwing them to the bed side. I would get some thin wall rectangle tube, that way there are no screws sticking out into the passenger compartment.

Is that a snap on top like the pictures in this thread, or a normal soft top with a frams and junk?

Did anyone ever make that style snap on fast back style top for our k5s??

good thinking i would have never thought of that.

My thought was to buy another hard top and cut it down to this, put the snaps on it and the support bar too.

Then have the soft top made like this.

it might not be as tight, mines like a drum cause its draped over the sides similar too that of a drum.
