adventurer vinyl top?
Brian here on sweptline was kind enough to email me some original brochures regarding 69 adventurer trucks which is very helpful in restoring my 69. In the ad there is a blue truck with what appears to be a black vinyl top on the cab; does anyone know if this was an option on 69 adventurers, or 69 d100's in general?
My truck is factory white with a black interior, so pretty boring on the outside, but I got thinking that a black top on a white truck with the black interior might look really good!
Opinions?

Re: adventurer vinyl top?
Never saw one with real vinyl. Think it was just painted on to appear like vinyl.

Re: adventurer vinyl top?
I had a 68 years ago with the painted vinyl fake top.
My truck is younger than me.

Re: adventurer vinyl top?
Was it a textured paint, or smoothe flat black to simulate vinyl?

Re: adventurer vinyl top?
IT is a textured paint. Similar to the "Rock Guard" used on the bottoms of rocker panels to protect the paint from chipping. My 68 had a small dent in the roof and after I repaired it, I had to find something to match the original "Vinyl" top. I can't remember which brand I used, but I used something similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Gravel-Approved-R ... B002HP50GU
Of course there are different brands some cheaper, some more money.... just try and do a Google search about them.

That is more money.... where the "rock guard" does the same thing CHEAPER . The roof "Should" be a satin color... not a shiny black or white.

These may be of some help. I scanned all my 1969 brochures, and made them available for members to download:fireguyfire wrote:Brian here on sweptline was kind enough to email me some original brochures regarding 69 adventurer trucks which is very helpful in restoring my 69.
