To each their own, doesn't do anything for me either. What do you do if it rains while you are driving? Just get wet I guess.

That's been on Craigslist for awhile looks real clean but with the roof missing seller really narrowed his buyers market. Just looks to weird being so long with no top

I don't get the concept. It seems unfinished.
Why cut the top off and then leave the bed completely untouched?
There should be party seating with mini fridges or a hot tub.
Just seems unfinished to me.

Not my taste either.

Question: how would that cab hold together for very long?

It seems to me, that ALL structural integrity is now gone (along with the roof).

Nope, that sure wouldn't work real well here in Vermont where we have 9 months of winter, two months of mud season and one month of summer.

I suspect there is a lot of flex in that body with the roof gone. One big bumpt and the frame might look more like this V than like this --

Trucks came with ladder frames, body on chassis passenger car ragtops and hardtops came with X member frames.

Unless an X has been added to ladder frame, Crew Cab is unsafe to drive, frame flex between cab & bed will cause the doors to pop open.

If you look close at interior pictures he added a brace behind front seat so maybe he added more that we can't see ?
