Another superb video! So many important tips! I loved the eye candy of all the old footage! When I was a kid in the '80s there was nothing I wanted more than a Mazda TRUXAROSSA! Fact it's still in my top 10 GOATs!!!! 😍

I miss the 80's vibe, MTV, cruising mini trucks with big systems, fluorescent colors, Oakley shades, arcades, roller rinks. I use to sell all that " custom " stuff Bill's Auto Accessories EastSide San Jose CA Alum Rock Ave & N. Capital Ave & in the " Berryessa Flea market " good times Thanks for the video & great advice 👌 Life's too short to ride stock If it ain't custom customize it

The old braces bolted in to the back side of the door latch. I believe it was to keep the sides from Collapsing when shutting the doors.

We cut the top off my buddie's square body s10 probably 12 or 13 years ago now. Didnt have a kit, had no intention of ever putting the top back on haha. We had an issue after we cut the roof though, the back wall of the cab leaned in, enough that we couldn't close the doors. We had to ratchet strap the back of the cab into the correct position and gusset the wall. Have you or anyone reading this ever seen this?

Those 80 convertible kits leaked bad and fitment was an issue on the earlier kits. A Lot of sealer used to keep them from leaking but we made them fit and look good and not leak as bad. Love your work and great knowledge thank you.

I have seen it done being cut down that far. I never have done that because I feel there isn’t enough to hold the window securely But you never know.

Hello!! First time viewer but long time minitrucker. Im wanting to do a vert on my 88 ranger, would I need to do the rain gutter trick on it?! Cut the window pillar lower then the top cut. BTW I subscribed to your channel I'm excited to watch more of your other vids!!! Thank you for sharing.

Hey I had one of the 80's convertibles, my suggestion is to seal the exposed metal otherwise it will rust and it does happen quickly.

Yes. It’s the same as the S10. You even need the window regulator kit for your doors. They still sell that. Check my video on that to see what’s involved.

Hi I have an 82 S10 chop top with tandem wheels on the back. My question is where can I find the plastic kit that went around the windshield,over the door and where the back window was held. I'm only missing the drivers door plastic, probably the one you say you don't use.
