Has anyone every thought up or planned out a sweptline convertible. Maybe with the top going down where the gas tank in the cab is(after you relocate the gas tank of course)

There was a horrible green one on CL a while back. Terrible.

Bigdad built one out of one of his parts trucks a long time ago.

When I replaced the cab on my W100 i took the cutoff wheel to the old one just to see how it would look chopped, I didn't like the look. The driprail on the cab is integral to the look and the cab just didn't look right without that body line.

Like i said its a dumb idea, i was kicking around upstairs at work sorting through old stuff and found an ad for the old Dakota convertibles and it got me thinking.......i was wondering if anyone ever actually did it and has pictures just to see if it really did look as dumb as i thought it would

Well, that doesnt look too bad, does that have a functional power roof? Thats what i was wanting to see more than anything

Looks like a "go eighty" roof to me.

I really liked the convertible Dakota I had. I've kinda thought about it with a Swepty. I would use the same flop down top design.

Funny, I just did this one up in Photoshop two weeks ago...out of BigDads' truck!
I don't think it looks too bad.

I think it looks great! a long bed truck would be a little better proportioned in my opinion!

I wonder how a 4 eye would look like that..

facechicken · Post by **facechicken** » Wed Nov 02, 2011 8:21 pm

I think a four eyed one would make it look like a cadillac convertible, the old reeeeaaaallllyyy long ones

It's been years but I don't think that one had a roof. I'm thinking Ramcharger roof.
