used to know a fisherman who had done that with his S10, he loved it. he did sort of a bad job on the ragtop he arranged for it though. maybe a jeep style removable hard top is the way to go. if you keep the steel section you removed, reinforce it, and make it bolt on.

gonna do a roll bar? looks good so far. a roll bar would stiffen up the cab and make this a hell of a lot safer

there is a thread on the astro forum where a guy made a pickup out of his astro and another where someone cut the whole roof off to do accident repair, ill see if i can dig it up
