nope, no roll cage. and just a soft top as all military truck should have. That is going to be the bigget challenge is making a top that looks correct. but I gota get all the big stuff done first. I got the generator put in last night, mounted it between the frame raisl in the rear way up high. its an onan 2800w unit. that will power up anyhitng i want in the truck and then some. INCLUDING the a/c unit in the cab.

I need to find 2 sets of the window guides for a soft top. I pan on using those, cut up and custom fabbed to seal up the widows against the top, and attach the top to. For now I am just gonna use a tarp as a top and worry about making it right later. its gonna be gettin warm soon and I am gonna want to drive it, top or no top.

i paid 100 for my used cab, bare cab with doors, you wont ned wiondshield or dash, but you will need top bows if you plan on doing a soft top. most people take the easy way out and make a hard top,,,,all military truck should have a soft top!
