I'm a bit new to old Broncos but aren't a lot of these conversions with soft tops half cabs? I just don't care for the looks of the half cab with the hard top but when lifted and roll cages added it looks like a completely different vehicle. I guess you just remove the hard top and the bulkhead also just unbolts?
Hey there. It's not necessarily a half-cab that gets the soft top treatment. Some of them were I'm sure, but lots of wagons with full tops get soft tops too. Either the top rusted out or was damaged, or the owner wanted a soft top and just sold the hard top to someone that needed/wanted one, or like many of us, we run the soft top while our nice old hard top sits in the shed/garage/shop/side yard.
Of course, half-cab owners can very easily be in that category because many don't like the more cramped cabin so open it up with a soft top. Tons of people love the look of a half-cab/pickup model, but maybe don't like the closed in feeling. I'd be one of those too.
Lots of reasons for a soft top. Or not a soft top...
All the tops just unbolt. Same for the bulkheads, which were even ordered with some full top Broncos. Unless it's been welded in, like some have been over the years.
