    Hard top fitment questions

    check out govplant's auction results. You can find a number of PLAN B truck sold out of utah in past auctions. Maybe you can see a few pics that will help.

    Hard top fitment questions

    the steel hardtop with turret has a different style b pillar, it ties into the turret support ring. Their is also a c pillar, but it is integrated into the sponsons and the crossbar hold up the turret support ring. The style of roof you have uses the soft top b and c pillars.

    Hard top fitment questions

    i can see that being a nice setup for a tall guy. I don't have any photos of an aluminum roof, just steel and they have turrets in them, The don't use the b billar, so that won't help. I think the Aluminum roofs attach directly to the b pillar and then there is a piece that fills the gap...

    Hard top fitment questions

    is it steel, aluminum or fiberglass? That is a rare, maybe even one of a kind setup.

    Question on what year this is and any other info from tag

    nothing special i can see, looks a bit overpriced, but i have seen worse.

    what one to get?

    if you just want the look of a slant back and don't really need a turret, checkout black dog custom fiberglass slantback kit. That looks amazing and would be overall fairly cheap if you found a nice 6500 truck to put it on.

    what one to get?

    On the kits look at all of the seams on the roof, sponsons, and hatch to handle area. Also inside the roof above the doors. The weapons tray and support. A little surface rust is ok, just stay away from rot.

    Question on what year this is and any other info from tag

    i would say 1985 (very low serial number), but a pic of the complete truck would help.

    HMMWV 4-man Soft Slant Back Feedback and Discussion

    i think the frame with the foam looks great, even without the cover. You should make a deluxe version that is all welded larger diameter steel or aluminum tube (the same diameter as the foam) Maybe with the angle material that meets the tops of the fenders. Like you see on some hmmwv roll...

    what one to get?

    I would buy a clean slant back kit first (with turret support ring, bearing, hatch, c-pillar, hatch, sponsons, etc). This is the rarest part(s). Make sure the kit doesn't have severe rust issues. Then take your time picking the perfect truck to convert. Buy a 2 door truck. You can get one...

    Any one replaced the Demilled C-Pillar with the real deal?

    i have installed two c pillars on slant backs. From the knowledge i gain from that activity i doubt you can install i c pillar with both sponoson installed. I bet they just cut the c pillar in half when they removed it. Best bet to reinstall a new c pillar is to detach one sponson, jack the...

    4 speed trans conversion

    dhaumann69166 You do not need a new bracket for the tv cable. The existing bracket (for the t400 kick down) and linkage to the injection pump works perfect.

    No fuel to engine

    I just dealt with a similar no fuel issue, removed the hose coming from the pump before it enters the filter ( soft line to hard line connect with a hose clamp near the valley). It was bone dry. Cranked it over for a few seconds and it started to pump fuel. Reconnected the line and it started...

    4 speed trans conversion

    I did a "built" 700r4 (level 2) from bowtie overdrive. I wanted to use my np242 which requires an adapter. The adapter is made by advanced adapters, but I did order it with the 700 from bowtie. With the adapter installed,the 700r4, adapter and 242 fit perfect. For the tv cable, just reuse...

    700R4 Conversion

    I wish i had RPM readings from before and after. I would say off the top of my head, before 40, after 55. i mainly drive on roads that have speed limits between 25 and 55 mph. I have never had it on the interstate to get a top speed. I am planning on installing a RMP gauge on this one and one...
