    Topnault (Chinese) half tub review and impressions… Plus half doors!

    Quick update... After reviewing my videos the Factory in China has agreed to build me another 1/2 tub with the corrections I noted. I noticed they are now making FJ43 bodies so I asked if my replacement could be a 43 instead. They said NO PROBLEM!!! It may even be a 3,/4 tub, but that's still...

    Topnault (Chinese) half tub review and impressions… Plus half doors!

    I chatted with Topnault and provided the video links. They will be reviewed by the team in China to assist with further modifications to their manufacturing processes. I was also promised a new replacement tub with the appropriate updates based on my feedback. So far this company is...

    Topnault (Chinese) half tub review and impressions… Plus half doors!

    True, but they don't sell them separately. The wings only come with the mid-bed. I even asked about it.

    Thought I would provide a second video regarding the missing center channel for more clarity.

    Topnault (Chinese) half tub review and impressions… Plus half doors!

    Yep, but now I’m thinking I may return the half tub and go with a 3/4 FJ43 Tub. I just saw they are now making them and it’s what I’ve wanted all along. Time will tell…

    Topnault (Chinese) half tub review and impressions… Plus half doors!

    So the biggest issue this half tub has is that it's not an actual half tub! I would expect that a half tub would include everything rear of the door jambs. It's missing the entire mid bed support channel along with the "wings" which are located just in front of the wheel wells that cover the...

    1979 body tub from China

    Half tub arrived this morning. I will post up more details / pics soon but here are my first impressions. PROS: Great quality finish! The metal is nice and thick. (Floor checked out at 14ga) The primer is excellent. Nicely packed (came without damage) Most welds were decent. (I won’t need to...

    1979 body tub from China

    Pre 72 was 16ga. 18ga is seen in 79 and later rigs. My half tub from “China” which should be arriving any day now claims to have a 14ga rear bed with the rest at 18ga or better. I’ll let you know what I find out.

    Topnault (Chinese) half tub review and impressions… Plus half doors!

    Yes, I’m hoping they have remedied the issues some others have posted, especially the issue with the rear sill being welded “under” the rear floor. That mistake really tells of the lack of QC. My hopes are: 1. All panels are installed in the correct order and manner. 2. Alignment to the frame...

    Topnault (Chinese) half tub review and impressions… Plus half doors!

    It’s been a minute since I’ve done any restoration work but the time has come to get busy on my next project! It’s a 77 40 series in 653 Olive! (What’s new? ;)) After long consideration, I’ve decided to press the “easy” button and purchase a 1/2 tub from Topnault @ 3k. About 3.5k with...

    For Sale Bluetooth Stereo 100% Hidden, only takes up the space of a dash knob! (Custom knob included)

    Hello all, It’s been a while since I’ve been on mud. I see there’s a couple folks who have had a rough experience with the units. I’ve suspended the shop for now, and still have four orders to fill, which should be shipped out in the next couple days. Several factors have contributed to the...

    For Sale Bluetooth Stereo 100% Hidden, only takes up the space of a dash knob! (Custom knob included)

    Hey there, Since the knob on my units don't pull out, just rotate, they should work as the knob will hold the bezel in place. But I can't guarantee it.

    My first '40 and the venture

    How did the Bluetooth end up sounding? Speakers make a difference so let me know how those kickers sound. I haven’t heard them before. Also, you may want to check out exciter style speakers. They go anywhere, don’t require a box, and can be completely hidden. Only trick is finding the right...

    Okay then big question… What’s the chance you would be willing to ship? I know it’s a lot of work to do correctly. I’m looking for a new tub for my 77 project to save countless hours of work. And the price fits my budget.
