In 1971 the part # was changed and they deleted the rear brackets which held the rear warning lights. My question is: did the canopies still have the textured paint on the underside for 1971 & 1972.

I don't remember adding the insulation to canopy during PDI. This post was edited by Tx Jim at 03:58:49 08/25/12.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I believe 1969 and 1970 canopies used the Stolper cab tops which were tapered from rear to front. Did 1971 and 1972 canopies used the Hinson cab tops which did not taper? Thanks.   [Reply]  [No Email]
