Me and some buddies did this about 20 years ago in high school. Back then we were able to find all the glass,top,stainless trim,seat, panels etc from junk yards and it was pretty cheap back then(maybe 1000 bucks). The conversion we did looks good enough to fool a lot of people since it has all the supports in the truck and the door sills.. My neighbor started piecing together all the parts so we can do it again. So far he has spent upwards of $4,500 for just the glass, rear seat,top and trim around the windshield and where the boot snaps.Next we have to reinforce the floor and the factory subframes that run under the door sills.
I dont care for the "Ronster" kit because you lose a lot of the chrome and you can tell from a pretty good distance thats its a conversion.
