Pinzmeister, Hi I believe I talked to you not to long ago. Do you have any any pictures of the inside after the hard to has been installed?

Any idea what that would be in US dollars?

The reason I started asking again, was I order something not to long ago by the time my credit card had been billed it was only $1 US 1.20 Euro. I'll probably just have something made here. My wife has been complaining about dust that comes in the back while driving down dirt roads. And the bugs that come into it at night.

A partial solution to the dust problem is roll down the curtain canvas between the cab and the back and roll up the sides and the back canvas. That or leave the back canvas and the sides down.

Another solution is...leave the wife home.

At todays exchange rate ( 16 october ) cost would be 2164 usd, plus shipping. I will post some pictures of exterior and interior with side windows and seats fitted as soon as I can.

Any chance of getting a hardtop just for the cab - maybe from a full top that was a blem or didnt come out right to be a full top?

I really want a hard top for my 712 ambulance and cant seem to find any here!!!

are you any good at fabbing aluminum sheet metal? i fully, painstakingly and accurately scaled your truck cab and modeled it (and a gr8 roof) in solidworks.

Check with Scott and see if he has any 710K hardtops left. Cutting it right behind the rollbar would give you an exact match for the softtop, plus you'll have a sunroof.

PS.. I could take the remainer for some new adaptations for the Pink Cow

Glynn,

I modeled mine after Phil Kalamaros' cabtop kit. I had a local welder build it from 12 gauge steel and 1" square tubing. It is a bit heavy but very strong. The cab back adds to the roll structure, again more 1" tubing and 12 gauge steel. Totaled about $1200

Easy to insulate, tightened things up - not drafty anymore.

Check out the Yahoo Pinz group photo section "Toms 712M" for the cabtop pix.

Thanks Dave - Im on it - lets see what he has and maybe he can bring one down when he comes down and we can kill two birds with one stone.

Thats a nice top to Tom!!!

You are putting a AMB box on your 712M right!

We have to stay in touch!

Im planning on getting the remote camper jacks on and then the AC/HEAT and inverter with shoreline - I will take pics and post the progress so everyone can experience it - can you please do the same with yours - I think its a good thing for the forum to have sharing like that so people experience different modifications / styles and can share their projects also!!

glynn - a couple months ago texas pinz said they had a bunch of k tops laying aroung that nobody down there wants because it's too hot for them!

Might be an option - dam how the am I gonna get a k top 1000 mileas give or take back to SoCal??????? Dam !!!!!
Let's check out your plans and see if Scott can help - might have to grab a trailer and go to TX!!!!! LoL!!!!

Glynn

..............for a small consideration of the tail end of a k top, I'm sure that there is a trailer to be used........
