    Default binfordm715 : Soft-top mount on windshield

    Soft-top mount on windshield
    Post by binfordm715 on May 12, 2006, 6:02pm

    I took the hard top off (for the final time ) and here's what I discovered I have for the soft-top mount:




    What am I supposed to do now? Is this rail something I can get from Best-top or such, by chance?

    Anyone with any experience in this, I'm all ears!

    Thanks....

    Best top wont have anything for it. Thats manufact. into the frame. You could take c-channel from screen door or window frame or something and bolt it up... or just look for a new frame in Silverton Oregon? lol

    Bestop will surely have the channel that I could get that would mount their tops. Question is, would it work with the rope-in-the-canvas M715 top? Somehow, I doubt it....

    If you guys buy that truck, what are you going to let me have the windshield for?

    Bestop's rail is just an open rectangular channel though. Maybe 1/8" wide by 3/8 to 1/2" deep. Won't work. Unless they have a different type as well.....

    Tim if you come up with just the channel I can weld it on for you. Seems to me everything I've welded on the truck looks way better than any factory weld. I believe they used these trucks as practice for novice welders. Fisherman

    Just look around for a new windshield or a new windshield frame. Keep your eye on e-bay etc. Call AB Lin, or Vintage PW or even Saturn and see if you can get one. Maybe if your lucky you'll find a nice NOS one...

    I'll just check for some extruded channel at the local RV store. Perhaps one of you gentlemen would be kind enough to break out your calipers and give me some dimensions of the channel?
