What a Great Truck and what a Great find!!! Motors are easy ,the body
being rust free in one of those is just awesome!!! Just want to wish
you the best in the project!! To me they are one of the best looking
trucks around, top off windshield down ,I would go for the soft top, to
me all the tops are a little goofy on them , BUT Top less they are the
best!! GOOD LUCK!! Randy
