Thank you Mark!!!!!  I was hoping there was a site out there doing just
the pop top!  Now, do you know if they built a platform over the rounded
roof???  I imagine there is barely enough clearance to put the pop top
down.  I think I will definately do the front pop top this way.  I am
building a stretch.  I think Otmar may have told you.  Anyway, I really
want the flip down bed for the back pop top though.  My brother Steve
thinks we can just make a modified bed rail from box steel welded to the
frame around the outside of the roof.  Is this a pipe dream???  I think
it may be possible, but I have never had the roof off of one of these
before, and am feeling a tad uncomfy over not knowing if it will work,
or can be made to work.....
