    Hey Jac, I submitted your truck to bringatrailer.com and it went up this morning. Good luck with the sale!

    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:

    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.

    Here they are:
    http://www.badgercoachworks.com/index_files/Page309.htm
    However, the price on the web site is outdated.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.
