    if you dont want your roof to leak... dont cut a hole in it. (or in this case, cut the entire roof off) water is persistent... it WILL LEAK AT SOME POINT. Ski

    I don't think the shop inspectors would like it!

    Very doable, years ago at a pig picking party (yes, alcohol involved) we converted an old chevy sedan into a convertible. We did have to use a 44 magnum to finish detaching one of the pillars. We used the pigs head as a hood ornament and took turns driving through fields. Wild times.
    Of course you too can have crazy times converting your taco. Here’s a video that might help:
    https://youtu.be/qm50TgVi0c4

    Cautions:
    *Vehicle no longer road worthy. Fields only.
    *Vehicle worth reduced to 1/10th original value and that’s due to the engines still there.
    *Requires copious quantities of alcohol to even think of such a mod. Alternatively, be a strong candidate for a future Darwin award.

    Have fun! :rolleyes:

    I think it would look cool if done correctly. Dodge made the Dakota that way.

    Send it to Kindiq Designs. They'll do it for you. Cost will be a couple of hundred thousand more than you paid for the truck.
