Hi, I was wondering if ANYONE knew where i could get my 1996 dodge ram converted to a convertable, not a fake convertable, but a real one, I KNOW i saw one once in New Jersey, and would really love to do it . I know they used to make the Dakota's for that one year in convertables.
I have a 1996 Dodge Indy Ram. |

I'll have to check around on that one . . . are you looking for a complete convertible top (like a cloth/vinyl folder top) or one of those conversions where you take the entire hard section off and are able to replace ?
I saw a Q/C once with a targa top and thought that looked awesome, but the owner said it was a nightmare to convert because of the roof structure and moving the wiring around. Maybe someone else has heard of one. ------------------ "Good Luck on your project." |

Here you go:
Made originally by Mavron Industries in Indiana, then sold to two other guys, becoming Super Dome Inc., and then out of business :-( Here is a picture of what it looked like: Still looking for a regular convertible company . . . not much luck so far. ------------------ "Good Luck on your project." |

Here is one other thought: One guy told me he wanted that look on his Chevy and couldn't find a kit, so what he did was talk to someone that makes boat tops, (you know those bimini tops kinda like on a tracker) and they fabracated one out of stainless steel tubes and some top material. Takes awhile to plan out but really its not that hard.
I personally would rather have a kit from a company that has been making them, in case it leaks . . . . It's not like you can just whip the roof back on after you cut it off . . . . . . . ------------------ "Good Luck on your project." |
