Converting High Top to Pop Top

Post by Braggin »

Does anyone have experience converting a high top to a pop top??

I am considering the idea, but not sure if it's a straight forward swap. And how much work is involved.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated :shady

Thanks,
Chad

Hi,

I've not attempted the conversion myself. I ask the question though - why would you want to "downgrade" to a pop top?

depends on what pop top and whether the high top roof cut is full or partial.
