I have a '73 that has the standard four point bar going through the half cab that's on it. You obviously have to unbolt it and remove the legs to take the top off.

That is clever idea!

Looks to be original steel cab, was not aware you could even get a sliding rear window too. Thanks for the pix.

Mines a Bailie Bilt

Love my Bailie Bilt Halfcab cage. Almost tried to test it once.

I notched my bulk head to allow the B pillars to go straight down to the floor. Then just made a couple of panels the screw together to cover up the hole. I like this option better then bending the tubing to match the contour of the bulk head. Seems to me that it takes most of the strength out of that tube when it gets bent like that.

I redid my bulkhead to go straight down. for more room behind the seats. I'm not a hardcore wheeler. Mostly desert exploring. I like the look of a single bar per seat. I had a thought...

.. Mine is not really a cage but I do feel it is plenty of protection. & it also holds lots of lights for fun. & even 3 to the rear for work behind.

BronCowie has as nice inside roll bar inside his.

Thanks HC... here's a few... Cage was built by Arsenio Amac70, top built by Kevin Zombie66, two of my local yocals. Works well with my soft top too...

Sounds good, Does the stock half cab still work?

Curious and how you redid the bulkhead for single seats, any Pixs?

Definitely the halfcab I need.

Kind of what I had in mind. I was going to save an old top and practice making one but my buddy was helping me scrap the donor bronco got up earlier with the torch that morning. Still there is another top I could use in a local boneyard, would have to have help modifying with another welder friend. I have long legs and Ok maybe a bit of a gut. Right now I have the stock seat moved about 6 inches back. Actually bolted in one of the bulkhead nuts with seat all the way forward I just reach the pedals. Getting some good ideas here. Sounds like I should get the smaller steering wheel, 1 or 2 inch body lift should bring up angle of column and then bolt the seat forward some. Looking for possibly more pixs of Kevin Zombie76, but can't find in member list. Like the idea of the liftgate location,and giving you some added room behind the seats.
