Thanks Dave It sounds like my best bet might be to find someone local and have them make me a top to fit. I do not need it to look original in fact I might even see if I can fabriate a fiberglass one. If I can avoid anything cloth or canvas might be better since bears tend to tear them up so bad.

Dave Since you have had both tops side by side do you think the folks at Tuff River could make a top from their pattern with a few modifictions or is it harder than just adding a few inches here and there? Do you know of anyone who has a pattern and could build a top without having the vehicle there...

The data tag in the cab and the data tag on the frame are both the same so I think I will just use that # and send it in. Are there any other data tags? I don't even really need the sf97 except for the fact I have allways got one just incase I ever sold a vehicle. I see they sell a fiberglass top fo...

Since the top is longer behind the front bow does that mean the cab portion of the top is the same? As for the vin I was just trying to get as close as possible before sending in the sf97 and perhaps just curiosity. I am not selling the vehicle and once I get it back in the bush it will most likly n...

Also can any one tell me if the top from a 712 will fit a 718? The Tuff River people seem to think they are the same but I want to make sure before I order one. Thanks Steve

I got the build card info back and the vin is a PINZGAUER TURBO D 4x4 M for the US Army, Canvas Top Version, Production Date was 13 02 1987. Everything seems to match except this is a 6 wheel vehicle. Does anyone know if the US Army ever bought any 4x4 versions? I am thinking that when the order cam...

I am sorry when I typed in vin # last time I left off the 716. The vin is VAG71621110000090. yes it is 716 and the tag on the chasis is the exact same # . As you can see from the pictures of thes vehicles they do have a p90 front grill and there is no sighn of cutting around radiator hoses to fit di...

I am still not making any sence out of these vin tags . I guess perhaps I should just use the vin #s I have found but I just wanted to make sure they were correct. The tag is just where the passenger would put his knee and it is VAG21110000090 the chasis data tag has the same #. This does not add up...

Thanks I am not there now but I will have someone look for me and see what the number is on the chasis tube.

Now I am confused It is a 718 not 716 it is not short it is an automatic not standard and what does LDH mean? How can a data tag be that far off? Is there a second data tag somewhere on this vehicle? Thanks Steve

I am getting ready to send in for my sf97 from GL and I could use some help on how to fill it out. The vin # is VAG71621110000090 so what year should I put on SF97? I assume the model is 718-p90 is that correct? I found the gross vehicle weight is 3500KG which I can convert to lbs but what is the em...

What is an SDP build card and where do I get this info? Also I have heard about CARC paint on this site and I was wondering what part of this paint is dangerous, is it the paint or the hardner? Is it only bad to spray or is it bad after it has hardened. Is stripping or sanding the problem? Will othe...

What in the vin # tells if it is an 80s model that was upgraded or a 90s model? Also what year were these sold to the US?

How did you determine the model and year of your 718?

I am in Alaska but the vehicle is currently in Virginia. Thanks Steve
