I just got this one, and I couldn't find the thread for the Hi tops so I started this one.

These are awesome buses! I really used to hate them as a kid, so ugly! Now they are beautiful looking to me, but I never see tham driving around like I did as a kid. Rare and cool, love them! _________________ 1971 Deluxe Sunroof Bay 1905 stroker, dual idf40's, 74mm Scat forged crank, engle 110 cam. CB 044 heads, AutoCraft rockers, chromoly push rods

Hi.
This is my 1971 factory high top. It was a firetruck in the beginning so it was just a little rust to deal with.
When I found it it was all painted with flowers and so.
I just got it back from with fresh paint Montanared with two layer clearcoat.
And this is the interior going in. I is from a T3 1987.
Its supposed to be all ready to camp in this summer, so Ill com back with more photos, or you could check out my buildthread (in swedish, sorry...)

just had a gathering in seattle...6 bus guys, 4 brought busses. the westy was the shortest one there...and i know where one more is that didnt make it too...ill get pics up here....someday. love high tops.
BTW, that red one with fresh paint is more of a HighRoof, rather than a top. but still, way cooler. the metal roof is RARE AS EFF. the fiberglass ones can easily be out on most buses...those metal roofs....not so much. _________________ Stuart Zickefoose

Here is Trixie, the Happy High Top!
My buddy had a 1971 that he just sold. It was bought out of California and went to the midwest where a father/son cleaned out the interior and got it mechanically sound. He bought it from them and moved it to TN, where he replaced the rotten out rain gutters with a whole new roof clip and repainted it mint green/white. He installed the new interior from UK and had an immaculate bus. Whoever got it got a steal on it! I think I have photos at home on my computer |

The two early ones that I have don't have a seal or chrome trim on the sides, but the 77 does, so I would assume originally they did. _________________ "Two things are infinite: The universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." Albert Einstein
