Im looking into adding a hightop to an extended van as part of a build out. I am hoping to save money by removing a used top from a salvage yard. I have neither van or hightop currently.
Is there a simple guide to what model/year combos match up?
Would it be possible to mate up a standard length hightop to extended van? I have good mechanic and carpentry skills, "ok" fiberglassing skills ,and my good friend is a successful artistic welder and has offered his services
I assume GMC/Chevy from same years but are there any subtle differences between years?
I am also very interested in late 90's fords (trying to avoid the spark plug issue...is this that big a deal?)
These vans all look alike...Any chance of cross platform and or different companies matching up or being close enough to "fudge" with some alu angle iron/fiberglass/silicone?
Im strapped for cash on this build but would love for the Mrs to be able to stand up (im 5'11" so ideally me too but if i cant find a 24"inch top ill settle for anything taller than stock). Looking at touring country for 4-6 months to find a job and a new start with wife. Cant wait to start a build thread (April is when we move FROM Hawaii TO the mainland)!
