Convertable F150?

I want to make my 76' F150 2wd a convertable. Anyone done this or know of any kits?
Thanks!

I think that they started that package in 78, If memory serves me right, I think they called is a bronco.

No really, no clue here, but couldn't pass it up.

A kid at my high school did a "convertable conversion" on his little toyota pickup....It pretty much entailed his going hog-wild with a cutting torch and just chopping the top.

try some different search terms rather than "convertible", variations and imagination are the keys to the search function.

Best suggestion so far!
Cutting off the top is the easy part.Capping it again is the hard part. I want it to look great. Not like someone went at it with a saw saw after drinking a case of beer
Thanks anyway guys.

Seriously, making a convertible out of your truck is a big job requiring many hours and quite a bit of body working skill. I've never seen a convertible of these years, except my 79 that I cut the top off of before scrapping the body. Maybe try contacting a custom rod shop to see what they suggest.

myself I would look into getting another cab and do a little practice before i butched up my truck. with a welder and some sheet metal nothing can't be done.

I think it would look pretty awesome on a truck with some 40" ground hawg's howling away with the TOP down
