Going to be making a ShortCab(Cap)
For my 79 Bronco, I just picked up a spare cap for cheap in a little bit of a beat up condition.'
Going to cut and join the front half to the back half for a total length of between one and two and a half feet.
Not sure if I'm going to incorporate a landu window or not.
Any suggestions or ideas, thoughts or tips from anyone?

Got any "photochopped"images we can peruse? So if I am understanding you correctly you are making a shorter top than stock? How far back will it will it hit the bedrails? I chopped up a top to get the open road feel of running topless without actually removing the top a couple years ago. (92 and up loses two of your rear seat belts if you completely remove the top). I am always interested to see what modified top configurations other folks come up with. Keep us posted.

It would seem mother nature is conspirining to slow this job down.
Living through a major sinus cold and and it just keeps snowing up here in the great white north.
I haven't seen this much snow in quite some time usually our winters have been cold and dry, I'll have to check with Al Gore to see if he has anything to do with this.
As I said earlier thou I have not fully decided on the design or length and I am very open to input from others.

I think it would be kinda cool to stop it just behind the rear seat then rhino line the "bed" and make a "crew cab" bronco. Not really something i would do but it could be cool if it was done right.

My brother found this image the other day. Its a "photochop" but along the lines of the idea presented here. Apologies, I cannot credit the photographer or the Bronco owner. He found the photo online.
