well first i am not looking for top dollars sale, i am looking at getting some money for it to cover for seal , paint, oil, gasket, sand blasting and general stuff to get the restoration of my 55 going, so if some one say a price i will consider it and make arrangement with the fellow for payment and he can make shipping arrangement, i will sel it to help someone who need a hard top..period. i have 4 of them, one for me in great shape, one on the truck i am selling as a whole, an other one in good shape for sale here, and one with a big hole in the middle of the roof as the truck has been converted to 6 wheel drive and had a pulp loader on the back and the owner used to stick his head out of the hole to operate the loader.MSeriesRebuild wrote:Actually it means nothing to me that something may be inside the roof area, photos like this reveal so little, at least to me. I won't even argue the fact that it could be something that was original to the Canadian military issued top, I simply don't know that answer to that question. The owner should be able to research that since he is in Canada and know for sure, in my opinion it would pay him to do so if he is seeking a top dollar sale. I'm simply stating facts that would matter to us if we were restoring the top to use on one of our rebuilds. There are many other ways it can be viewed, depending on the intended end use.outsider wrote:M, I think you need to take another look at the pictures! There is clearly some kind of insulation in the roof of that cab. It isn't the "US" insulation with the steel liners (I have that on mine), but may be a "Canadian" style. It looks to well done to be a "bubba" job.

Bottom line, I'm looking for no arguement.
second there are picture off the top in the tread, whoever buy it see's what he is getting , and i can take more picture if needed, not every body is looking at doing 100% correct restoration, some people trow other engine and other diff on them truck and a hard top with some kind of finish inside could suit them well.
third if you do not want it , dont buy it, thank you for noticing there are a difference from the one you have seen ,but thats it , i have two that have the metal insideand they have been set there with screw that left hole, this top for sale has no hole , so maybee it is somekind of different finish they where doing or maybee someone covered all the hole, i dont know and i dont care , it has some kind of foam insulation stuck on the inside and that all i know, it wil suit someone somewhere,
fourth, i have 4 truck and i will be selling lots of part off the 52 and 53 when my 55 is done, so if you are looking for stuff let me know and i will see what i need and wath i dont need,
thank you very much
