925 Hard top installation

[Karl kostman]

Good Afternoon Folks, I just wanted to let you all see the installation of the new Hard top on my 925, it all went very well BUT I will give a couple clues to anybody else making this conversion. The TM is good but goes over just the rudimentary stuff. What I will say is to install the back of the cab first but do NOT tighten anything up, then install the top of the cab again just loosely but the bolts in and put a block over the front windshield so the cab top does NOT go down over it yet, make sure all your rubber gaskets are properly placed prior to this point and once thins are set gradually go around and tighten things from the inside to the outside of the cab when this is all done THEN its OK to pull the front block out and let the cab top come down over the top of the windshield, like I said its all pretty basic but a lot better if you follow these steps insted of just going by the TMs! I purchased this NOS hard top from a fellow SS member from LA his name is TCBI (Michael) great guy to work with and he delivered on everything he said he was going to The hard top I recieved was brand new in the box and 100% complete! So good luck folks and I like my truck even better now than I did before!

Hey guys I have a question for you all, With this new hardtop installed I would like to paint the truck to match (YES I know it sounds weird) I like this camo pattern very much is there a real name for this type, the truck is a 3 color as is the hard top but I like the hardtop 3 color a lot better, what do you call the camo on the top so I can suplicate it on the truck???

there's a paint-by-numbers diagram somewhere, I think in the Tm's. You probably don't want to go to the expense of real CARC paint. Search the threads on CARC paint, you''ll find the paint numbers and non-CARC X-reference info.

Do a search and see if you can't down load it.

Great job. Now all you need is the fuel burning heater to set you up right for the ND winters!
