I was at Rausch Creek yesterday with a cool group of rigs: Thats Joe (from Bock's Garage) powerstroke bronco in the background. The Centurion was owned by a buddy of his (also 7.3), and then their buddy showed up with this monster Cummins powered jeep on Axletechs: Not too many pics taken from the trip but lots of video. Stay tuned... Unloading this morning: All the parts: This is a half cab/tonneau conversion kit from the (now) defunct Creative Products. Here's an old screenshot from the ad they used to have on their website: Theyre fairly rare these days, altho i still see one popping up now again. This one seems in great shape, like it either was never fully installed, or only installed once or twice. I got a box full of weather stripping (still missing some), no hardware and no instructions. Sent a pic of the pieces laying in the garage to a buddy and he simply replied "im on my way". So we got to work removing the hard top: Poser pics (i dont actually have any topless pics of the truck since i finished it!) Side panel, encloses the cab. If you look closely you can see i have laid out a hole to cut in it, so i can reinstall the rear speakers ...and this is how the lower header fits up: Unfortunately, this is where progress ended. The top half bolts into the original captured nuts for the hard top, but the screws need to be almost 1" longer, and we couldnt find 6mm bolts that length in any of the hardware stores we went to. So we cleaned up and put all the parts back in the garage, because i needed to pack the truck and get it loaded up for a wheelin trip tomorrow. We'll revisit this next week once i have longer hardware. |
