Brad,
I thought that convertible trucks were not legal to drive on the highway.
I tried to look it up, but forget where I heard it.
Sounds like a great idea though.

| As the completion of a 2 year, frame off restoration of my stock 49
| comes into view, I'm already looking for my next project, and would like
| ya'lls opinion.
| My son is 13, and is already trying to convince me that we need to find
| him a truck and start working on it for his first vehicle. He, of
| course, would like more of a rod than a stocker, which is fine by me,
| and somewhere along the line he got it in his head that he would like a
| convertible AD! I have seen a couple of these in different magazines,
| and must admit they looked pretty sharp. I have found a 54 3 window cab
| that is in pretty good shape everywhere except for the roof, so its a
| good candidate if I decide to do this.
| Has anyone ever attempted this? Am I getting in over my head? There is a
| company here in Dallas that will make both hard tops (glass) and soft
| tops for any vehicle, so that part is easy. It seems pretty straight
| forward, but I'm the guy that originally thought that my frame off on
| the 49 would take about 6 months. What do ya'll think?
| Thanks
| Brad
