I.B.ASH Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hello, Wondering if I should know anything about...... I have a 1986 '90 which used to be a soft top, the guy I bought it from turned it into a truck cab, and Im wanting to turn it into a hard top/van. Am I going to have to make any mods to it to make the van sides and hard top fit? I have all the seals/bolts/seatbelt brackets etc The wind screen is one of the ones which folds down, will the rim at the top fit the new (but old) roof? I think you get the gist of what Im asking. Cheers for any advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy V8 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 should just all bolt up with no probs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 unless youve got a series top by mistake, it should bolt straight on no probs, make sure to seal it well maybe youll have a leak proof landy, or should i just get my coat?

Ian Barrett Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 You're going to need a new back door and seals. If you get a roof try getting the liner which goes with it. They not only make the truck a bit warmer but reduce condensation. Have you got an interior light in the truck cab. If not you might want to think about making sure the liner also has one. I've gone the opposite way and apart from that and seat belts I can't think of anything else I had issues with. A roof weighs quite a bit, so you can expect the truck to feel quite different and possibly a bit slower and less flingable around corners due to the new centre of gravity.

I.B.ASH Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 <p style="text-align: left; ">Excellent cheers for that. Yeah I have got a back door (second hand), bought a brand new seal for it, the van sides liners are in real good condition as is the roofs. I bought cheap liner for the truck cab which is great (it is old military hence no liner anywhere!), the second hand roof I have has been lined with old camping-mats, and I have a load of rubber liner which Im going to line the rest of it with. I put an interior light in, and a cd player!!!! Cheers for the info you lot!</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
