IN Best top soft top

[doo142]

Best top soft top , vinyl is nice and very plyable. Snaps and zippers are all good. Complete frame and snap rails. The windows are starting to yellow and stiffen. There is a a 6 inch crack in both side windows where they must touch the bar or something, it's the same on both sides. It needs cleaned ,its cold and I don't have time so I'll sell it cheap $325 plus ship

Yes it seems complete, I was told it is, but I have never installed it.

Post #5 - does that show all the frame parts you have?

Yes it does, it going back out I'll mock it up and snap a pic

Based on what I see above some frame parts may be missing, I'd like to be wrong. Don't see the brackets to attach bows to the bedside rails. Here is a link of install with good pics of the frame components: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=230909

Here's a list of Bestop frame parts I found on a post (not sure if same Bestop model top or not):

Two "L" rails for each side
Bracket for mounting top bows, one each side
Top bows, they are both three piece bows, two angle and a slug to connect them
Pins and cotters for connecting the bows to the mounting bracket
Angled brackets to attach to the windshield frame, one for each side
Door brackets, they anchor on the top of the b-pillar then the top of the T connects to the front hoop and then to the windshield frame

I have the same top. missing from your pics are the "L" shape alm brackets where the hoops are attached with pins. Also the "L" shaped metal pieces that attached to the windshield frame for the window pieces to fit in. These parts are easy to fabricate.

Looks like small truck mount brackets for windshield and bows are not there. Picture is not great but gives you an idea of its simplicity.

I agree they are simple, may even still be available. Thanks for input !!

[DeadheadNM]

Any chance the missing brackets might be found (no longer available from what I understand)?

Grillzy - I've been nice this year - can you fab these for me for xmas

[grillzy]

More than willing to take pictures and dimensions for you.

Thanks guys. I've got so many pending projects though I'd take forever to fab up the brackets. doo142 - I sent a PM to a member who may a spare set; any chance I can have until tomorrow at this time to commit? If I don't hear from him or he doesn't have them I'd pass to another member. Pete

No chance they must have been still on truck, it was rolled years ago, long gone.

Wow - you rock, I read these were no longer available but glad to be wrong as the other member no longer has spare parts. What's the total shipped to 59901? Pete

[doo142]

Pete, I will box it up to get ship quote, any special/best way to fold or roll this up that you prefer??

Thanks for asking but I have no idea. Maybe the top warmed to room temperature then folded? Do the hoops break down smaller (that would help reduce the box size).
