Hi All,

How easy and/or daft would it be to buy a 110 pickup (co's they're cheaper) and then add a hard-top back to it? Is it something an amateur could do, or does it involve a lot of welding? Does it work equally well with any flavour of 110 pickup - e.g. is the hi-cap a different size to the standard hard-tp van back?

Thanks in advance all.

Adam

do you mean convert it to a proper hard top or just add an ifor williams top over the pickup bed?

the standard 110 would require no welding to replace the roof etc they are a bolt on bolt off job.

hi-caps have a wider rear body but i think ifor do a top for them but it will still be a separate space to the front

this assumes you are not after a station waggon and just want to convert it to a van or a van with windows

Puttingthe hard top on is easy enough just a 16 bolts to do up if i remember rightly. I dont think you can get a hard top for ahi cap though
