Do you know exactly when the changes were made? I have a 1980 and would be interested in the cover if it doesn't have to be modified. Thanks!

1 1/2 hrs down I-85 to the ramp...I never even considered leaving the top up for the 60-70 mph tow...I did stow all the snap on curtains inside the truck to keep them warm for easier attachment...

BTW..that top is still intact today and is available for sale...cut specifically for a '74, I wouldn't recommend for 80s or later models as there were some changes...COULD be altered, but again, I wouldn't recommend it...


Can't believe these the only pics I have...l don't have it, but Rick said he was looking for a new home for it last we talked...
