Vinyl top options
I know you've already made the decision and a good one, if my experience is typical. My 73 was a factory vinyl top that rusted underneath and was removed. The rust was patched with body filler and coated with a bed liner. It flaked and looked hideous. Took two weeks to put a new roof on. I used to think the vinyl tops looked cool, but when I look at them now, all I see is rust holes underneath.
