some nice comments from the BAT peanut gallery too. and that is not an easy crowd to please.
1970 88 IIA
Absolutely stunning. Fantastic work. Very impressive.
Thanks.
I hope there is someone out there that can give this vehicle a loving home. Otherwise, it looks like this is the way it will be spending its time for the foreseeable future:
Here is a picture showing the Badger door tops:
I looked on the badger site and didn't find those door tops. Does anyone have a handle on alternative tops for doors?
Thx
BTW, STILL a great looking truck.
1967 Series IIA 88
Here they are:

However, the price on the web site is outdated. They are now $575.
Anyhow, they supposedly work well on civilian Series vehicles. They required a significant amount of 'tweaking' to be used on my Lightweight. Chris advised that he will not offer these for sale to Lightweight owners because they won't fit "out of the box".
Keep in mind the purpose of the Badger door tops. They are intended to be used as a quick on-and-off, lightweight, and easy to transport door top during the months when you normally run without door tops. You use them in case of a pop-up thunderstorm or driving home on a Fall evening after the sun has gone down. The plastic window unzips, but only so you can pay a toll or pick up a coffee at Dunkin Donuts. They are not intended to be normal every day door tops.
For new door tops, take a look at Rocky Mountain aluminum door tops. They are reasonably priced and well made.
Beautiful. Stunning.....but enough about me!
No, seriously, your truck is absolutely gorgeous. If only I didn't have 7 trucks already! What can I say.......love is in the air......
